Python 2.4.3 on Red Hat 5. Trying to use strip to remove characters but it doesn't seem to work like I thought.
res = subprocess.Popen(['uname', '-a'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) uname = res.stdout.read().strip() >>> uname 'Linux myserver 2.6.18-274.el5PAE #1 SMP Fri Jul 8 17:59:09 EDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux' >>> uname.strip(':') 'Linux myserver 2.6.18-274.el5PAE #1 SMP Fri Jul 8 17:59:09 EDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux' >>> 'www.example.com'.strip('cmowz.') 'example' Thoughts?
