I need to check a string over which I have no control for the first 2 non-white
space characters (which should be '[{').
The string would ideally be: '[{...' but could also be something like
' [ { ....'.
Best to use re and how? Something else?
I would use .split and then ''.join:
>>> ''.join(' [ { ....'.split())
'[{....'
It might be faster if you provide a maximum for the number of splits:
>>> ''.join(' [ { ....'.split(None, 1))
'[{ ....'
