[FIXED] Why does print("..."), i.e. three dots in a row, print blank?

Issue

I'd like to print three dots in a row (to form an ellipsis), but print() prints blank.

print("one moment...")
one moment...
print("...")

print("..")
..
print("...abc...")
abc...
print("\u2026")
…

What's happening here? Why is "..." parsed in an exceptional way?

I am using ipython in PyCharm.

Solution

Looks like this is a known issue with Pycharm where its interactive console removes the leading three periods from a print statement. Here’s the ticket tracking this issue.
