regex - re.sub() ellipsis in Python 3 -

i need simple solution, it's evading me. passing list of strings loop cleaning up, , need remove instance of ellipsis. here's example of i've tried:

text_list = ["string1", "string2", "string3...", "string.4"] in range(len(text_list)):     text_list[i] = re.sub("\.", "", text_list[i])     text_list[i] = re.sub("\.{3}", "", text_list[i])     text_list[i] = re.sub("\.\.\.", "", text_list[i]) 

naturally, none of these removes ellipsis. period removed, though. output be:

for text in text_list:     print(text)  >>>string1    string2    string3...   <- 1 didn't change    string4      <- 1 did 

i've exhausted regex documentation , google searches. how match ellipsis regex?

@swalladge had right notion here: use unicode. here answer.

"if want remove actual ellipsis, in unicode horizontal ellipsis character (…), need use in code, since 3 periods won't match it." –@swalladge

@rickdenhaan had easier way accomplish task. thanks!
