In simple cases you might be replacing with the same string every time, but other cases you might want the replacement to contain substrings captured by the regex.
But you can give it a function that has access to the match object and can produce whatever replacement string it wants. You already have a complete programming language at your disposal. There's no need to invent yet another mini-language for the replacement string. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
