[New-bugs-announce] [issue1282] re module needs to support bytes / memoryview well

[Guido van Rossum]

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

Once PEP 3137 is fully implemented, the re module needs to be fixed so
that the regex argument, the substitution argument, and the argument
being searched/replaced are allowed to be arbitrary bytes arrays; where
hashing is needed a copy in an immutable bytes object can be made.
