This sounds like a bad name, since there used to be a regex module in
the standard distribution a few years back and there's therefore a
fair amount of documentation warning against using it.
that's the upstream name, and infact I've renamed the also source to
python-regex (instead of keeping 'regex' as upsteram chose); also, it's
well known in the python community what regex module is. To make it
more clear, packages will be python{,3}-regex{,-dbg} but what you'll
import is regex, as per Python Policy.
Could you point to some references about why it's a bad name?
