Summary: [Irix] re package does not work.

Details: The re package does not seem to work at all under Irix 6.5 + gcc
2.8.1 (either before or after the sre Misc Patch is applied)

Python 2.0 (#1, Feb 23 2001, 01:24:07) 
[GCC 2.8.1] on irix6
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import re
>>> m = re.compile("^ab$").match("ab")
>>> print m
None
>>> import pre
>>> m = pre.compile("^ab$").match("ab")
>>> print m
<pre.MatchObject instance at 10201d64>

pre serves as a reasonable substitute, but since earlier versions of Python
don't have it, one can't distribute a portable package easily.
