Yes, my python interpreter seems to became mad ; or may be it's me ! :)

I'm trying to use re module to match text with regular expression. In a 
first time, all works right. But since yesterday, I have a very strange 
behaviour :

$ python2.4
Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr  5 2007, 20:11:18)

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/etc/postfix/re.py", line 19, in ?
     m = re.match('(Spam)', mail)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'match'
 >>>

What's the hell ?? I'm just importing the re module. The code showed, is 
a previous test code, that seems to be buffered and that make an error.
Each call to re module generate that error.

How can I workaround ? Is there is a way to flush or restart python 
interpreter. Is it a bug in python ??

Thanks !

Ben
