I wouldn't recommend doing that, because the PCRE engine has been
hacked in various Python-specific ways that will assume the rest of
the interpreter is there. I'd suggest either using a separate regular
expression library (perhaps an unmodified copy of PCRE, or your
platform's regex implementation), or going through Python to use the
re module.
