Unicode regular expressions -- buggy?

I don't think the python regular expression module correctly handles combining marks; it gives inconsistent results between equivalent forms of some regular expressions: >>> sys.version '2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]' >>>re.match('\w',unicodedata.normalize('NFD

How does that help? I interpret "use asynchronous calls" to mean "use fcntl to set an FN_NOTIFY on the directory in order to be alerted when something needs to be done." But the method of doing that which I outlined above has a critical section in which the incoming signal will not be noticed.
