[Jython-users] AssertionError: SRE module mismatch

[Hasan D. <has...@gm...>]

I have written a few classes to fetch UseNet news, which work under  
cPython. I'd like to import messages and put them into a lucene  
index. pylucene is broken under Debian and I don't feel like messing  
with Makefiles. After my existing classes didn't work with 2.1, I  
checked out the CVS. Once that didn't fix the problem, I decided to  
see where exactly it was failing:
Jython 2.2a1 on java1.5.0_04 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import nntplib
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in ?
   File "/home/hdiwan/Jython/dist/./Lib/nntplib.py", line 32, in ?
   File "/home/hdiwan/Jython/dist/./Lib/re.py", line 7, in ?
   File "/home/hdiwan/Jython/dist/./Lib/sre.py", line 97, in ?
   File "/home/hdiwan/Jython/dist/./Lib/sre_compile.py", line 17, in ?

Looking through the list archives shows someone else with this exact  
error and no solution. My hope is that it will be solved this time.  
If there's a more appropriate place for such a message, please  
forward it and keep me informed of the outcome. Thank you very much.
