Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment:
This is not a bug: the argument to lstrip effectively specifies a set
of characters to be removed; in your example, 'c' is in that set, so
the 'c' at the beginning of city gets removed. 'i' is not in that set,
so it stays.
lstrip(...)
S.lstrip([chars]) -> string or unicode
Return a copy of the string S with leading whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
