Thank you, but as I wrote in the original post, I don't know how
postgresql and python differ in their regexp syntax. Specifically, I
know that re.escape escapes any non-alphanumeric character, including
accented letters.

If you have any evidence proving that everything will work fine with
re.escape, I'll be more than happy to use it.

This will work (AFAICT, _and_ as far as I've used it): the regex-syntax of Python is a superset of the regex-syntax of PostgreSQL (both are based on PCRE, not on the library, but the syntax), and as such you'll possibly do "too much" quoting, but never too little when simply using the Python-builtin.
