You have *ONE* error, with a long traceback, which is incomplete,
because it doesn't show the error message that should be at the end of
the traceback.

This is compiling a *constant* regular expression, and works OK on the
Windows distribution of Python 2.4.3 :
| Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32
| Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.

| >>> dots = re.compile(u"[\u002E\u3002\uFF0E\uFF61]")
| >>> dots.match('.')
| <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00AF6058> # bonus: compiled regex works.
| >>> dots.match(u'\uff61')
| <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00AF6918>
You appear to be running 2.4.n; what is n, and exactly which *x
platform are you running it on? Perhaps a file in /usr/lib/python2.4 is
corrupt, but we won't know until you give the *full* traceback. Do you
get the same results when you try what I did at the interpreter
interactive prompt?
