Are you sure these are problems with the PyPy implementation, not with the Python regexp spec itself? I've used grouping and back-references with pypy with no problems so far, so I wonder which case you're talking about.

Yes I am sure it was the pypy implementation since the same regex would do fine on python2.7.

Unfortunately I dont have the regex at hand, just remembering it was something with groups and backtracking.
