To clarify, you mean named character sets as found in Perl and Emacs, which are normally written, for example, like '[:ALPHANUM:]', right? We are working on that as Item 8 of Issue 2636: Regexp 2.7. If not, please clarify so I nknow what needs to be added. Thanks!

Yes, this refers to the POSIX character classes as described here: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html (Ideally, there should be an (internal) API that lets you register class definitions from the Python level.) Support for Unicode properties could perhaps be addressed at the same time: http://unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18/#Basic_Unicode_Support

This has not been implemented as part of the new regex module, see :- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-July/102181.html
