[Python-Dev] PEP 393 Summer of Code Project

I have a different question about IronPython and Jython now. Do their
regular expression libraries support Unicode better than CPython's?
E.g. does "." match a surrogate pair? Tom C suggests that Java's regex
libraries get this and many other details right despite Java's use of
UTF-16 to represent strings. So hopefully Jython's re library is built
on top of Java's?
PS. Is there a better contact for Jython?
