Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood you. There are unofficial mirrors of CPython on
Bitbucket [1] and GitHub [2]. They don't contain unofficial patches, but
perhaps there are private clones with additional patches. Of course different
Linux distributives can provide Python with own patches. And you can maintain
private fork of CPython with your patches for your own or your company needs.
But if you needs only optimized regular expressions, I suggest you to look on
the regex module [3]. It is more powerful and better supports Unicode.
Results of the same mickrobenchmarks for regex:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import regex as re; p = re.compile('\n'); s = ('a'*100
+ '\n')*1000" -- "p.split(s)"
1000 loops, best of 3: 544 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import regex as re; p = re.compile('(\n)'); s =
('a'*100 + '\n')*1000" -- "p.split(s)"
1000 loops, best of 3: 661 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import regex as re; p = re.compile('\n\r'); s =
('a'*100 + '\n\r')*1000" -- "p.split(s)"
1000 loops, best of 3: 521 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import regex as re; p = re.compile('(\n\r)'); s =
('a'*100 + '\n\r')*1000" -- "p.split(s)"
1000 loops, best of 3: 743 usec per loop
regex is slightly slower than optimized re in these cases, but is much faster
than non-optimized re in the case of splitting with capturing group.

Sorry, I don't understood you. Do you mean documenting codes of compiled re
pattern? This is implementation detail and will be changed in future.
