The CVS version does *not* contain any of the module that are a straight
copy of the CPython modules. Instead you will have to get a recent CVS
copy of CPython and use the modules there. Personally I have a setup
where my <home>/.jython contains:

python.path = i:\\python\\python\\dist\\src\\Lib

which is the directory where I have my CVS copy of CPython. This setup
works most of the time.

The "re" (actually the "sre") module is quite sensitive to the correct
synchronization between the the "_sre" module, which is part of jython
and the "re.py" module, which is part of CPython. At the moment the two
versions are synchronized so you should be able to use this combination
of Jython CVS and CPython CVS.
