Obviously this is the appropriate choice since this is a database app.
In general the strip() group of string methods do what you want in a
safe way - assuming you don't care about whitespace:
>>> s = " test \r\n"
>>> s.strip()
'test'
>>> s.rstrip()
' test'
>>> s.lstrip()
'test \r\n'
If you are concerned about whitespace:
>>> s.strip("\n\r")
' test '
strips any \n's or \r's from the ends of the line.
This way it doesn't matter what your line endings are - you won't be
surprised by missing characters if the data dump changes for any
reason.
