I often can't remember that to remove spaces from a string whether it's strip() or trim(), and when finding patterns with the re library whether it's find() or search() and when iterating over key, values of a dictionary whether it's items() or entries(). But then I remember that Python is "sexy". It is sexier to strip() than to trim(). You do a strip search() not a find() search. And you remove items() of clothing and not entries() of clothing.
