The 4th argument of re.sub is 'count', not 'flags'. re.IGNORECASE has the numeric value of 2, so: re.sub(r'[aeiou]', '#', 'all is fair in love and war', re.IGNORECASE) is equivalent to: re.sub(r'[aeiou]', '#', 'all is fair in love and war', count=2) ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41664> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
