Actually there is a very nice regular expression package (re) inside the
python 1.5 (http://www.python.org/)
distribution (it does the perl-style regular expressions, with some
minor differences to fit the python programming model)
There is also an older version (regex) that does
emacs/grep/awk/xxx-style regex (selectable by set_syntax)
They all fall under the python license which seems to me very compatible
with postgresql ona.
