perhaps pydoc should explicitly suppress the
DeprecationWarning?

I was about to suggest using the warnings filter to catch 
it and add it to the documentation, but there aren't any 
callbacks. Which isn't to say they can't be added...

pydoc doesn't use the deprecated regex module.
The warning appears because regex happens to be among
the available modules to be searched.
