1-) We need regex module for its super Unicode support used while deforming emojis in text and it is irreplaceable in that matter.

2-) Currently, that package is being used only by _Interact by Comments_ feature.

3-) regex does not consist of just python, it has a _C_ code, too, which will have to be installed once you initiate the pip install command..
_From your output_,

cc -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -g -Os -pipe -fno-common -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -DENABLE_DTRACE -DMACOSX -DNDEBUG -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wshorten-64-to-32 -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -Os -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DENABLE_DTRACE -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -pipe -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -c regex_2/_regex.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.14-intel-2.7/regex_2/_regex.o

cc command is trying to do that job for you

4-) But it fails cos you have Mac 😀

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

It is possibly cos of you've not installed the appropriate version of the _Command Line Tools_ - XCode for your Mac OS [e.g. after upgrading it].
Install it running,

xcode-select --install

Also, you can run,

xcode-select -print-path

to see your active developer path.

@edwardium, do you also have a Mac?

Cheers 😁

[edwardium]

xcode-select --install
