Because str.strip() only removes leading or trailing characters. If
you want to remove all the t's, use str.replace:
'this is a test'.replace('t', '')

strip() removes leading and trailing characters, which is why the 't' in
the middle of the string was not removed. To remove the 't' in the
middle, str1.replace('t','') is one option.
