You don't need both (?u) and re.UNICODE: they mean the same thing.
This will actually match letters and whitespace.

I'm encoding the Unicode results as UTF-8 in order to print them, but
I'm not having a problem with it otherwise:
Program
=======
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
reg = re.compile('(?u)([\w\s]+)')
found = reg.match(u"ya я")
print found.group(1).encode("utf-8")
found = reg.match(u"я ya")
print found.group(1).encode("utf-8")
Output
======
ya я
я ya
