That seems a packaging error in the pydev that comes with Fedora...
Pydev uses a jython version that's distributed within it for that. The
module re.py and sre.py that it uses should be at
eclipse/plugins/org.python.pydev.jython_1.3.17/Lib. I suggest trying
to uninstall your current pydev version and getting the latest from
the pydev update site (see
http://fabioz.com/pydev/manual_101_install.html ).

Cheers,

Fabio
