[issue12734] Request for property support in Python re lib

[Tom Christiansen]

Tom Christiansen <tchrist at perl.com> added the comment:

I've been a lot of testing of Matthew's regex library against UTS#18 issues, but only somewhat incidentally testing re. To use regex, one has to accept that certain things will work differently than they work in re, because he is following Unicode definitions for things like casefolding. 

But I doubt that is the sort of difference you are talking about. One of the things that Java, Go, and Perl all do is run regression tests against the whole Unicode Character Database to make sure nothing gets hosed, missed, or otherwise out of sync. That might a sort of regression test you might like to add.
