Python 2.2 breaks lilypond-book

[Laura Conrad]

I upgraded to python 2.2 this week, and the lilypond-book on 1.4.12
stopped working.  I have done the ./configure; make; make install, and
that doesn't seem to help.

The lilypond-book on 1.5.45 works fine (unfortunately it's an unknown
amount of work to make my lilypond work on 1.5.45).  

If this is a real problem with lilypond-book, I recommend that
whatever fixed it in 1.5.45 be back-ported to 1.4.something.  If
someone thinks there's a chance that it's just the dependencies not
being resolved correctly with the reconfigure, I can try installing
1.4.12 from scratch to see if that fixes it.

The traceback is:

lilypond-book --outdir=out allparts.lytex
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/lilypond-book", line 507, in ?
    newdict[k] = re.compile (olddict[k])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/sre.py", line 178, in compile
    return _compile(pattern, flags)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/sre.py", line 228, in _compile
    raise error, v # invalid expression
sre_constants.error: redefinition of group name 'match' as group 2; was group 1

Here's the input that produces this output, although the problem seems
to happen on all my files:

allparts.zip
