Regex usage causing error with python > 3.6

This function: https://github.com/joepie91/python-whois/blob/7b0ddf755b3d706860d5d8cb80c598fd854a48ca/pythonwhois/parse.py#L203 causes an error re.error: bad escape \s at position 0 when using python > 3.6. You can try it here: https://wandbox.org/permlink/D6ZEUWfMIs7wYK77 Please note, that in python 3.7: “Unknown escapes consisting of '\’ and an ASCII letter in replacement templates for re.sub() were deprecated in Python 3.5, and will now cause an error.” (https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.7.html). It seems that that’s the only problem with python > 3.6.

Ended up doing it this way:

TARGET=/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pythonwhois/
cd $TARGET
sed -i 's/\(\s*regex = re.sub(r"\\\\s.*\)r"\\s\(.*\)>\\S\(.*\)/\1r"\\\\s\2>\\\\S\3/' parse.py
