Ah, sorry I missed that part the first time through.
The first argument to jdate.sub ('repl') can also be a function that
accepts an re.match object and returns a string, so something like the
following (*untested*) may be helpful:
jdate = re.compile('new Date\((\d{4}),(\d{1,2}),(\d{1,2})\)')
def repldate(match):
y, m, d = map(int, match.groups())
return '%04d-%02d-%02d' % (y, m+1, d)
print jdate.sub(repldate, s)
