Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment: It works as expected:
>>> re.sub(r'\W', '', '½ a', 0, re.ASCII) 'a' You just passed re.ASCII as the count argument, not as the flags argument. >>> help(re.sub) Help on function sub in module re: sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0, flags=0) Return the string obtained by replacing the leftmost non-overlapping occurrences of the pattern in string by the replacement repl. repl can be either a string or a callable; if a string, backslash escapes in it are processed. If it is a callable, it's passed the Match object and must return a replacement string to be used. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45458> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
