jupiter:~ $ pydoc string.strip
Help on function strip in string:
string.strip = strip(s, chars=None)
strip(s [,chars]) -> string
Return a copy of the string s with leading and trailing
whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
If chars is unicode, S will be converted to unicode before stripping.
