[New-bugs-announce] [issue12056] "…" (HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS) should be an alternative syntax for "..." (FULL STOP FULL STOP FULL STOP)

[Xavier Morel]

New submission from Xavier Morel <xavier.morel at masklinn.net>:

In Python 3, "..." became useable as a normal expression, and translates into an ellipsis instance.

Unicode defines an ellipsis character "…" (U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS) which is canonically equivalent to a 3-sequence of FULL STOP [U+002E U+002E U+002E]

I think it would be nice if Python supported "…" as an alternative to "..."
