Thanks for taking a look.
Yea, it's pretty easy to write it in Python, but I've found that I've
needed it in quite a few things that I've worked on, so I thought it
might be useful in Python itself.
I've updated the patch to fix the reference leak.
I could imagine someone wanting to strip the same string from both
sides, e.g. "-- hello --".strips('--').strip() == "hello". It might also
be a good idea to include str.strips for parallelism with str.strip.
