idle 1.6 bug on Windows?

[Li Dongfeng]

I have also found similar problem in a Chinese Win98 system,
using the new python 2.0b1 install.
When I tried to input Chinese(using GB2312 encoding) to
an IDLE source window, the characters are not displayed as
expected. And when I tried to delete them, the program
simply GP faulted.

And I have also found a problem with the "Edit | Replace"
menu: The "REPLACE" button does nothing,
giving these error messages:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\PYTHON20\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1284, in __call__
    return apply(self.func, args)
  File "C:\Python20\Tools\idle\ReplaceDialog.py", line 93, in replace_all
    new = re.pcre_expand(m, repl)
AttributeError: pcre_expand

dir(re) revealed that the re module has no method pcre_expand.
