[issue26354] re.I does not work as expected

2016-02-12 Thread Magesh Kumar 

New submission from Magesh Kumar:

I am in the process of re.sub the tag   with empty 
string from a xml output line.

If "re.I" is used, I am not able to remove the complete tag. 


>>> a
'ype="str">falseDefaultMulticastClient>> b = re.sub('\<\/?item(\s+type="dict")?\>', '', a, re.I)
>>> b
'ype="str">falseDefaultMulticastClient>> b = re.sub('\<\/?item(\s+type="dict")?\>', '', a)
>>> b
'ype="str">falseDefaultMulticastClient

Thanks a lot Matthew for the inputs.

If we compare the first example () and the  example, I am using 
re.I as the third element. But for the  example, still I am not to get 
the substitution happening correctly.

Could you pls, let me know the reason of change in behaviour.
