You need to provide the UNICODE flag:
>>> re.compile(ur"\b程杰\b").search(u" 程杰 abc")
>>> re.compile(ur"\b程杰\b", re.UNICODE).search(u" 程杰 abc")

See http://docs.python.org/library/re.html
"""
Note that formally, \b is defined as the boundary between a \w and a \W
character (or vice versa), or between \w and the beginning/end of the string
...
\w
When the LOCALE and UNICODE flags are not specified, matches any
alphanumeric character and the underscore; this is equivalent to the set [a-
zA-Z0-9_]. With LOCALE, it will match the set [0-9_] plus whatever
characters are defined as alphanumeric for the current locale. If UNICODE is
set, this will match the characters [0-9_] plus whatever is classified as
alphanumeric in the Unicode character properties database.
