Finally:
稍微解释一下：
search 搜索匹配不是必须从字符串开始处匹配，任意位置匹配
span方法是转化匹配对象为原搜索字符串中的位置信息
r‘(.*) are (.*) .*‘正则表达式的含义：任意字符重复0次到多次，遇到 are，再次任意字符重复0-多次，直至遇到一个任意字符重复0-多次，显然最后的dogs之前会有smart than，如果是条件r‘(.*) are (.*?) .*‘, dog之前重复0-1次，那么就是smart
替换的正则表达，r‘#.*$‘，从#号开始到结尾，任意重复0-多次
r‘\D‘，匹配非数字
r‘(?P<value>\d+)‘，匹配数字1-多次，组取名字value，以double函数做替换项（字符串-》数字-》2倍-》字符串），匹配替换
其实，这个东西，你要用得着时，还是真有用啊！！！
