Cheers for the additional context. My recommendation would be to change the language to avoid confusion with the consortium's formal specifications. Describing what SRE does should be fine:

> Matches any alphanumeric Unicode character, as well as '_'. If the ASCII flag is used, only [a-zA-Z0-9_] is matched.

I think it'd also be nice for the term "alphanumeric Unicode character" to link to the documentation for `str.isalnum()`, which provides enough clarity for the user to work out exactly what Unicode category properties will end up qualifying as a match.
