In Lib/idlelib/searchengine.py there is a code which decomposes re.error and reports error message, pattern, and position of error.

The problem is that that code does not match the structure of re.error. It takes args[0] as error message, and args[1] (if specified) as position in the pattern. But actually re.error always sets args[0] to formatted error message, and args has only one item. So some code in IDLE is dead.

Currently reported:

   Error: bad escape \z at position 1
   Pattern: a\z

Expected:

   Error: bad escape \z
   Pattern: a\z
   Offset: 1
