You can use \1 to refer to matched text grouped by () in the regex. So:

import re
my_text = 'Word word'
src_str  = re.compile('(word)', re.IGNORECASE) 
my_text = src_str.sub(r'\1xxx', my_text)
print(my_text)

dict is a built-in type, not a module that needs importing
What are you trying to accomplish, @Sway?

@edenb thanks!

Happy to see you @omz and the update!

@JITASIDA
No, you can't
That would require adding a method to a built-in type and that's not possible (without going to the C source for Python):

>>> str.clean=lambda self:'clean'+self
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'str'

The error results from your lines not being well-aligned
Unindenting the x=... and y=... lines should fix it

thanks. works after pip docutils

Okay, I'll try my luck at some parts of scene

Well, no luck :-(
pygenstub will not install (pip install) at my iPad with File Not Found Error.
pip successfully downloads the .whl from pythonhosted.org, but on installing the wheel stops at an error
Version 1.2 (current version is 1.4) installs

Very welcome initiative!

I may contribute a module or two that I'm comfortable with.
In the style guide, you state "no Union[] return annotations"; does that also imply "no Optional[] return annotations"? The Pythonista modules have some.

nice :-)

Congrats @omz!

Thanks! Downloading now

Great, thanks!

@omz, can you please let us know whether you plan on publishing a new version to TestFlight (or extend the validity of the current version) on time? Otherwise I'll need to fallback to the regular version from the AppStore

@omz wow, 3 * 365 * 50 > 50,000 Pythonistas, that's quite a global tribe!

@dgelessus thanks, mystery solved
This applies both inside and outside triple quotes

In long-press run doctest, the cwd differs differs from

import doctest
doctest.testmod()

Great! Also the PEP8.

Although run with args clears the console now, doctest still doesn't, although that's merely inconsistent, not an issue, now doctest flags its outcomes in the source file.

Also, doctest fails mysteriously on

with open('test.txt', 'w') as f:
    pass

with

PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: 'test.txt'

I'd say, list of dict with ('class', 'View') as one of its items and 'frame' as another key would be pretty telling. But it wouldn't provide 100% absolute dead-sure unmistakable certainty, I'm afraid, so don't use this if trying to control a nuclear reactor or pacemaker

Both in Pythonista2 and Pythonista3 (latest betas) a long press to run (i.e. with args in 2; either with args or doctest in 3) does not clear the console if clear output before running is set in settings. I don't know whether this is by design, but (especially with verbose option; great option BTW) the doctest output tends to get longish, so this behaviour may lead to confusing output

Great news!
