escape function bug

The regex.escape function does not handle properly non-unicode input with 
special_only=True.

I found the bug on line 327 of regex.py:

is:

        if special_only:
            for c in pattern:
                if c in ALNUM:
                    s.append("\\")
                    s.append(c)
should be:

        if special_only:
            for c in pattern:
                if c in NONLITERAL:
                    s.append("\\")
                    s.append(c)

What version of regex are you using? It doesn't look like a recent one.
