Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This is too specialized function to be included in the stdlib ar added as a 
method to base class.

There are simpler and faster implementations of this function:

    def simplify(s):
        return ' '.join(s.strip().split())

or

    def simplify(s):
        return re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', s.strip())

Due to they simplicity there is no need to add them in Python.
