Not directly, since Python strings are immutable objects. If you want a
copy of the string without the last char *whatever it is*, you can just use
somestr = somestr[0:-1]
But in your situation, it's usually safer to use [lr]?strip()

Here again, you cannot *remove* anything from a string - you can just
have a modified copy copy of the string. (NB : answer is just above :
use str.strip())
