Alan <alan.becc...@gmail.com> added the comment:

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?
