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.
... but it works as advertised...
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
If you're expecting the ":"s to be stripped out, try using replace:
Help on built-in function replace:
replace(...)
S.replace (old, new[, count]) -> string
Return a copy of string S with all occurrences of substring
old replaced by new. If the optional argument count is
given, only the first count occurrences are replaced.

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?
