I'm not sure at the moment whether this is something to add to RegexField or not, but a couple of immediate things about the patch:

  1. don't compare "== None". Instead use "is None"; it's slightly more idiomatic Python and a little more efficient.
  2. Any new parameters should go at the end of the argument list so as not to introduce backwards incompatible changes (your patch breaks any code using position arguments to RegexField).
