Ok, thank you. I thought it trims whole sequence or nothing.

I think you misunderstand rstrip -- it works from the right, and checks to see
if the right-most character is in the string you have given it. As long as it
is, then it will remove the character and loop

Martin Panter added the comment:
The 3.5 documentation of str.strip() was recently modified in Issue 24204 due
to this kind of misunderstanding. Perhaps other versions should be modified as
well, or the str.l/rstrip() methods, or the bytes() and bytearray() methods.
