R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: strip removes any of a set of characters from the beginning and end of a string, not the middle. Please refer questions such as this to python-list or python-tutor. There are many helpful people on those lists who will help you learn your way around python. -- nosy: +r.david.murray priority: - low resolution: - invalid stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6705 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment:
Good advice from R. David. In addition, you'll find the help command useful:
help(''.strip)
Help on built-in function strip:
strip(...)
S.strip([chars]) - string or unicode
Return a copy of the string S with leading and trailing
whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
If chars is unicode, S will be converted to unicode before stripping
