[issue6650] sre_parse contains a confusing generic error message

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

Serhiy: I meant that the patch looks right to me (“I would apply it”), not that I intended to do it (“I will apply it”)—I’m not set up right now to contribute to CPython again.  Would you mind committing it?

(Edited versions: exception messages are not part of a guaranteed API, but changing them can break things and we don’t do that needlessly in bugfix releases.)
