Guido van Rossum added the comment:

It's not a space, it's a null byte.

Would you mind pointing out exactly where the Python docs state that \0 in 
re.sub() refers to th ewhole group?  (IIRC it should only say that group 0 
refers the whole string in the argument to the .group() method on a match 
object as returned by re.match() or re.search().)
