I'm facing the same issue.

Same here. There are other variations that also don't work:

"\D", "\W" and "\S".

However, I do agree that having "\w" working is much more important.

\w is working if you install exrex from master (\W, \D and \S are still not working)

Thanks for the heads-up, @CrafterKolyan! For reference, the PR that implemented this was https://github.com/asciimoo/exrex/pull/42. It was merged on 7 October 2019, and there hasn't been a release since then.

Confirming that this feature (and most probably many other new features) are still not present on the (PyPI) release
