I think 1 generic External Methods will do it:

      External Method that has input parameters like "re.compile"
      and returns a wrapper for the compiled regular expression.

      The wrapper can provide the methods of compiled regular
      expressions, again wrapping the results if necessary (such
      as for match objects).

Are you a volunteer?

I would need about an afternoon to implement it, but I did not
yet need regular expressions in TTW code...
