The fact that you've got three different regular expressions with
three different substitutions to do means that this needs to be three
logical operations. However, you can make this slightly easier on
yourself by building a dictionary of the patterns and substitutions,
then looping over it to do all the heavy lifting. For example:
sub_dict = {
'[\s]+': ' ',
'[-]+': '-',
'[.]+': '.'
}
for pat, sub in sub_dict.iteritems():
decoded_string = re.sub(pat, sub, decoded_string)
This also has the advantage of making it easy to add new substitutions
later if you find you need them.
