In Python 2.4, this is what's in re.py: ''' """Minimal "re" compatibility wrapper. See "sre" for documentation.""" engine = "sre" # Some apps might use this undocumented variable from sre import * from sre import __all__ ''' If you're using CPython, they're the same thing now. Use re, because sre is really an undocumented implementation detail of re. -- Michael Hoffman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
