There has been a discussion about that particular module, and it would have 
gone into 3.3 if it were not for the low "bus count" (only the author having 
working knowledge of the code).

I don't think that will help. From PEP 408:

"""
As part of the same announcement, Guido explicitly accepted Matthew 
Barnett's 'regex' module [4] as a provisional addition to the standard 
library for Python 3.3 (using the 'regex' name, rather than as a drop-in 
replacement for the existing 're' module).
