So how can I make it work with utf8 encoded text?
You cannot. First, \w in re.LOCALE works only when the text is encoded with the locale encoding (cp1252 in your case). Second, re.LOCALE supports only 8-bit charsets. So even if you set the utf-8 locale, it would not help.
Regular expressions with re.LOCALE are slow. It may be more efficient to decode text and use Unicode regular expression.
