re.sub() is behaving incorrectly, if re.IGNORECASE is used. Tested on 2.7, 3.4 and 3.6. The code follows:

import re

def subst(text):
   text = re.sub(r"\bnine\b", "niner", text, re.IGNORECASE)
   return text

print(subst("nine nine nine nine"))

It prints "niner niner nine nine". Without the re.IGNORECASE, the output is correct: "niner niner niner niner"
