I'm not going to comment on what type is returned from the various
functions in the re module, mostly because all I have installed
locally is 2.6, and I'm not sure if anything has changed in 2.7 or
3.2.
Instead, I will recommend a different tool for your toolbox. Take a
look at the type() builtin function (
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#type ). Particularly,
instead of inspecting reo.__class__ in your example above, you can
print out type(reo).
At a guess, those objects are missing the __class__ attribute,
possibly because they are old style classes.
