Python text.replace for removing section of a string

Question

I would like to see how I could remove a certain section of a string without leaving the blank space.

When running this code it outputs nice today, the problem is that I am replacing the characters with a blank space. Is there a fix to this or should I be using a completely different method entirely?

text = ("hello bye there ")

print(text.replace("hello", "nice").replace("there","today").replace("bye", ""))

Answer 1

you should remove white space at first:

text = ("hello bye there ")
print(text.replace("hello", "nice").replace("there","today").replace(" ", '').replace("bye" , " "))

the output will be:

nice today
