The whole text is unicode. It is ignoring the non-ascii, as you asked it 
to with re.LOCALE.

With 3.3.2:
import re

pattern = re.compile(r'\w+', re.LOCALE)
text = "I am a नेपाली"

for word in pattern.finditer(text):
     print(word.group())
 >>>
I
am
a

Delete ', re.LOCALE' and the following are also printed:
न
प
ल

There is an issue on the tracker about the vowel marks in नेपाली being 
mis-seen as word separators, but that is another issue.

Lesson: when you do not understand output, simplify code to see what 
changes. Separating re issues from framework issues is a big step in 
that direction.

? What might be the issue. I am new to PyQt and regex. Im using Python 
2.7 and PyQt4.
