I have an excel file. When I select cells, copy from excel, and then use win32clipboard to get the contents of the clipboard, I have a 131071 character string.
When I save the file as a text file, and use the python 3.3 open command to read its contents, I only have 80684 characters. Excel (and other programs too) appends a bunch of b'\x00' (or similar) characters. Is there a pythonic way to strip these out? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
