I need a regex that will match strings containing only unicode letter

to find the 're' module does not include a special character class for
this already (python 2.6). Or did I miss something?
It seems like this would be a very common need. Is the following the
only option to generate the character class (based on an old post by
Martin v. Löwis )?

Basically, yes.
The re module was last worked on in 2003 (remember it's all voluntary!).
Such omissions should be addressed in Python 2.7.
