[issue38016] Results with re.sub and re.replace is giving different results

hongweipeng added the comment: It's because ```re.sub('0.072', '72.0', newStringUpdated)``` match '03072' in -0.043'03072'77670375. `.` can match any character in regular expression.So I don't think that's a issue. -- nosy: +hongweipeng ___ Pytho
