Actually, that's already a bug. You want [0:-2] if you're going to do
it that way. Unless you meant that your string actually has a backslash
and an "n" character, which is doubtful...
You should probably use something more like Steven's solution, although
I'd personally use s.strip(';') or at least s.rstrip(';') if I had
semicolons to remove, rather than a combined endswith(';') and slicing
the last character off.

(If you'd posted the full error (that's an incomplete traceback),
someone would probably have pointed out how to interpret what Python
told you so that you'd already have figured out what was wrong with that...)
