[issue21283] A escape character is used when a REGEXP is an argument of "strip" string function

2014-04-17 Thread Tito Bouzout 

New submission from Tito Bouzout:

Hello!

I got a report that the character "\" was removed from a string using the 
following code

> "\\server\path\to".strip(r'"\'<>') 

At first insight, looks like a bug, because I don't expect the use of the 
escape character at all. Then I noticed, that our mistake there is that the 
"strip" argument should be a "string" not a REGEXP.

Kinda weird to read, and I've no idea if this is expected behaviour in Python, 
as I'm relatively very new. So just informing, 

Kind regards,
