Hi,
Is it possible to solve the below, w/o making a re object?

a
'Mary Had a Little Lamb'
p=re.compile('l',re.I)
re.sub(p,'-',a)
'Mary Had a -itt-e -amb'

I cannot figure how to se re.I w/o involving  p.

Thanks.
With warm regards,

You can do this.

>>> re.sub('[lL]','-',a)
'Mary Had a -itt-e -amb'

However it strikes me as overkill to use an re for something that could be done with the string replace function.

Kindest regards.
