Re: 'string'.strip( chars)-like function that removes from the middle?

I do not claim this to be better than all the other methods,
but this pair can also translate while deleting, which others cannot.

You should mention that you are using Python 3.0 ;)
The 2.5 equivalent would be
>>u"abcde".tran slate(dict.from keys(map(ord, u"bcd")))
u'ae'

Only if you're using Unicode:

'ae'

Only if you're using Unicode:

Sorry. I did not realize that the maketrans function had not then been
moved from the string module to the str class object, unlike nearly all
other functions from string, including the translate function. I also
misremembered that maketrans did not have the new third delete param.
What I did do once long ago was something like
>>import string
a = 'abcde'.transla te(string.maket rans('bd','**') )
a.replace('*' ,'')
'ace'

which is not very nice.

Hello, I am encountering a behavior I can think of reason for. Sometimes, when I use the .strip module for strings, it takes away more than what I've specified. For example: >>> a = ' <TD WIDTH=175><FONT SIZE=2>Hughes. John</FONT></TD>\r\n' >>> a.strip(' <TD WIDTH=175><FONT SIZE=2>')
