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?

str.strip() removes characters from begining and end of the string --
Not any in between. Notice
example = "www.example.com".strip("wcomx")
example
'.example.'
The x remains
You could do list comprehension
n = "".join([x for x in "this has : some : colons" if x not in ':'])
n
'this has some colons'
Yuck :(
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> "this has : some : colons".replace(':', '')
'this has some colons'
