Previously a non-string, non-regex second argument could cause the test
to always pass.

It seems like this would be useful to fix in 3.4 too.

You will note that the change got a porting note in What's New.  It will
only break tests (that are currently no-ops), not code, so I'd be fine
with backporting it, but the original issue did not call for that.

Exposing buggy tests sounds like a good thing to me :-)

If we fix it in 3.4, should we fix it in 2.7 as well?

If the *Regex methods are there, yes, IMO.

I agree. Since I and others am writing tests for all current versions of Idle, I would like a buggy test to fail no matter where it is first tested. Currently, I would tend to start with 3.4.
