> (In the latter case, why is it in decimal?) Because SRE_MAXREPEAT is generated (as all sre_constants.h) from sre_constants.py (note changes at the end of sre_constants.py). I agree, that SRE_MAXREPEAT is imposed by the C code limitation and it will be better to defined it in C. But we can't just import C's define into Python. This requires more code.
