You need:
-1- Add ' ' to the character class.
-2- Repete it with '*' or '+'.
from re import compile as Pattern
p = Pattern(r"<pre>[A-Za-z0-9 ]*</pre>")
t = """abc <pre> DEF ghi jkl </pre> MNO pqr"""
print p.sub('@', t)
==>
abc @ MNO pqr

PS: I really wonder why sub() takes (1) the replacement string (2) the source
text, as parameters. I always get caught by this (IMO weird) parameter order.
And you get no error... only wrong result.
