Pydoc for _sre.compile doesn't output signature and docstring, but only mentioned above line. There is similar issue in audioop module (issue20133) for the ratecv function.

This only a placeholder. It will be replaced by named constant in final patch. 
2**31 - 1 is not better here than any other arbitrary value.

> I don't understand the pydoc thing.  Can you elaborate?

Pydoc for _sre.compile doesn't output signature and docstring, but only 
mentioned above line. There is similar issue in audioop module (issue20133) 
for the ratecv function.
