could we not just make sure that plpython uses python ver < 2.x and use
plpythonu for python versions >= 2.x until a secure regex solution comes
from Guido and folks ?

I guess most plpython users would be much happier with plpython with
some minor limitations due to older version than with being forced to
use an untrusted pl altogether.

IIRC python 1.5.2 has a perfectly good RExec.

Or is there a requirement that only latest language versions are used in
pg 74 ;)
