If you want to remove extra whitespaces from start and end of a string, use strip() method in Python. strip() method removes all default whitespaces (spaces and tabs \t) and returns the copy of the string.
Python code to strip trailing whitespaces from string
string = " xyz is equal to xyz " # string with whitespaces (spaces and tabs) print "string with trailing whitespaces is \"" + string + "\"" # printing string with trailing whitespaces string = string.strip() # strip trailing whitespaces print "string after stripping trailing whitespaces is \"" + string + "\"" # printing the string after stripping trailing whitespaces
Note: Code works in both Python 2 and 3
