New submission from purificant :
A call to re.sub() returns different results in Python 3.7 compared to versions
3.6 / 3.5 and 2.7
Example behavior in 2.7 / 3.5 and 3.6:
>>> re.sub(r'(([^/]*)(/.*)?)', r'\2.zip/\1/', 'example')
'example.zip/example/'
Example in 3.7.0 and 3.7.1rc2:
>>> re.sub(r'(([^/]*)(/.*)?)', r'\2.zip/\1/', 'example')
'example.zip/example/.zip//'
As you can see the returned string is different for the same regex. re.subn()
confirms that 2 replacements are made instead of 1.
Is it intended to have different behaviour in 3.7+ or is this a bug?
Thanks
