Yes, this is an intended change. Your pattern matches an empty string at the end of the input string. It was a bug in earlier Python versions that re.sub() didn't replace empty matches adjacent to a previous non-empty match. It is not clear what is the purpose of your code, but adding anchors or replacing * with + usually helps. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34982> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
