Thank you this answers my question. I wanted to make sure it was actually
designed this way.

It is the fisrt line that is wrong, the second follows from the first, I agree.

That is not the problem. The problem is that
re.sub('a','\\n','bab')
cannot be the same as
re.sub('a','\n','bab')
This is evaluating the string to be substituted before the substitution.
