Hello,
I am encountering a behavior I can think of reason for. Sometimes,
when I use the .strip module for strings, it takes away more than what
I've specified. For example:
>>> a = ' <TD WIDTH=175><FONT SIZE=2>Hughes. John</FONT></TD>\r\n'
>>> a.strip(' <TD WIDTH=175><FONT SIZE=2>')
returns:
'ughes. John</FONT></TD>\r\n'
However, if I take another string, for example:
>>> b = ' <TD WIDTH=175><FONT SIZE=2>Kim, Dong-Hyun</FONT></TD>\r\n'
>>> b.strip(' <TD WIDTH=175><FONT SIZE=2>')
returns:
'Kim, Dong-Hyun</FONT></TD>\r\n'
I don't understand why in one case it eats up the 'H' but in the next
case it leaves the 'K' alone.
