Help on built-in function lstrip:

lstrip(chars=None, /) method of builtins.str instance
    Return a copy of the string with leading whitespace removed.

    If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.

This does NOT remove a leading substring. It removes a set of characters.
