Oh, thanks for letting me know and sorry for the trouble.<br>I should had read the docs more carefully. I have actually been using for a long while the strip methods as I had described in the bug report. I was so completely convinced about this that I didn&#39;t even thought about checking again the docs.<br>
I have to fix my code but I am happy nonetheless as I was kind of &#39;losing my faith&#39; in python after finding this.<br><br>Regards,<br>Alejandro<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/2/19 Ezio Melotti <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:report@bugs.python.org">report@bugs.python.org</a>&gt;</span><br>

combinations of its values are stripped: ...<br>
