Break it up using verbose notation to help yourself. Also, use
more helpful names. With names like var1 and var2 you might as
well not used named groups.

r = re.compile(r"""(?x)
    (?P<error> [^(]+ )
    (?P<errno> \d+ )
    \)
    \s+
    (?P<lineno> \d+ )""")

This way it's clearer that there's a \) with no matching \(.
