Using repr highlights the issue which lies in the behaviour of str.strip() which does not strip away null spaces as I would have expected: ' 'utm10\x00' ' == ' 'utm10' ' not equal Changing the code to: currColl=line.split(":")[1].strip().strip("\0") works but I think strip() should already do that by default, shouldn't it?
