sre bug with \b in locale mode

[Oleg Broytmann]

Hi!

   The following program works fine under python 1.5.2 and has a problem
under python 2.0. It seems like a bug in sre in hadling \b in locale mode.
Is it a known bug? Can anyone test it with latest python/sre (adapt last
line to your locale, please)?

import re, locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")

def test(s):
   pattern = re.compile(r"\b%s\b" % s, re.LOCALE)

   match = pattern.search(s)

   if match:
      print s, "- found!"
   else:
      print s, "- not found..."

test("home") # english text
test("вес")  # russian cyrillic, encoding koi8-r, locale is koi8-r

Oleg.
