[issue39880] string.lstrip() with leading '3's

[László Kiss Kollár]

László Kiss Kollár  added the comment:

The argument in lstrip() is a set of characters which are stripped from the 
string and not a full substring. As the documentation states: "The chars 
argument is not a prefix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped" 
See https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.lstrip.

[issue39880] string.lstrip() with leading '3's

[Clayton Bingham]

New submission from Clayton Bingham :

Code to reproduce the behavior:

```
string = 
'h.pt3dadd(.994527806812,7310.741605031661,-152.492,0.2815384615384615,sec=sectionList[1396])\n'
print(string.lstrip('h.pt3dadd(').split(','))
```

The lstrip method removed 'h.pt3dadd(' but also removes the 3's before the 
first decimal in the remaining string.
