\strong{Obsolescence note:}
This module is obsolete as of Python version 1.5; it is still being
maintained because much existing code still uses it. All new code in
need of regular expressions should use the new \code{re} module, which
supports the more powerful and regular Perl-style regular expressions.
Existing code should be converted. The standard library module
\code{reconvert} helps in converting \code{regex} style regular
expressions to \code{re} style regular expressions. (The interfaces
are different too, so the conversion cannot be fully automated.)
