I am trying to learn how to use strip() method. It is supposed to cut out
all the whitespace as I read in the tutorial.
Read it again more closely.
-------------------
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
----------------------
So it only strips leading and training whitespace, not the whitespace
inside the string. (Use str.translate() for that)
