I would love it if Python at least would support the '\X' regex metacharacter in its own built-in regex module. Right now you have to turn to a third-party implementation to get that.

I also wish Python would expose more of the Unicode database than it does; I've had to turn to third-party modules that basically build their own separate database for some Unicode stuff Python doesn't provide (like access to the Script property).
