This is a verifier for the binary code used by the _sre module (this
is often called bytecode, though to distinguish it from Python bytecode
I put it in quotes).
I wrote this for Google App Engine, and am making the patch available as
open source under the Apache 2 license. Below are the copyright
statement and license, for completeness.

It's not necessary to include these copyrights and bytecode in the
source file. Google has signed a contributor's agreement with the PSF
already.
This patch publishes the work done until now
for Python 3.0 compatibility. Still a lot
to be done.
When possible, we use 3.0 features in Python 2.6,
easing development and testing, and exposing internal
changes to a wider audience, for better test coverage.
