It doesn't store the regex string, it stores the compiled regular expression as a python object, pickled, and then packed into an ascii string. When it pulls it out again, it unpacks it, un-pickles it and it has a compiled regular expression, not a string. Why don't you try it out and see, instead of just telling us it doesn't work.
