Yes, this is an intended change. Your pattern matches an empty string at the end of the input string. It was a bug in earlier Python versions that re.sub() didn't replace empty matches adjacent to a previous non-empty match.

It is not clear what is the purpose of your code, but adding anchors or replacing * with + usually helps.
