I often do same mistake again and again. Most of re module's method takes optional argument "flags" like this. finditer( pattern, string[, flags]) But, sub() takes optional argument "count" not "flags". sub( pattern, repl, string[, count]) So, when I write this code, it doesn't behave like what I want. re.sub("<[^>]+>", "", content, re.S) I think it would be nice if the method which takes optional argument "flags" and do same behavior with re.compile(pattern[, flags]).sub(repl, string). Thank you.
