I have some code that I want to simplify. I know that a for-loop would 
work well, but can I make re.sub perform all of the below tasks at once, 
or can I write this in a way that is more efficient than using a for-loop?

DATA = re.sub(',', '', 'DATA')
DATA = re.sub('\'', '', 'DATA')
DATA = re.sub('(', '', 'DATA')
DATA = re.sub(')', '', 'DATA')
