Answer 1

What do you mean by not working?
strip() removes whitespaces from the beginning and end of the string. But your test string did not have any extra spaces anyway.

Answer 2

Tibor Santa thanks. I was under the impression that it removes all white space! My bad.

You can also remove spaces from a single side with rstrip() or lstrip(). 🙂
