Summary: uncaught TypeError exception in sre

Initial Comment:
>From c.l.p on 9 July, Kevin Altis reported that:

    re.compile('([a-')

Produces an uncaught TypeError from compilation.

This patch catches the TypeError in _compile().

I wonder if the same change must be made in _compile_repl().

I don't see the benefit of the try/except clause as it is:

  try:
    p = parse...
  except error, v:
    raise error, v
Isn't that just:  p = parse...

This probably also should be backported to 2.2
