Because SRE_MAXREPEAT is generated (as all sre_constants.h) from 
sre_constants.py (note changes at the end of sre_constants.py).

I agree, that SRE_MAXREPEAT is imposed by the C code limitation and it will be 
better to defined it in C. But we can't just import C's define into Python. This 
requires more code.
