Ethan Furman added the comment:
lstrip() works by removing any of the characters in its argument, in any order;
for example:
'catchy'.lstrip('cat')
# 'hy'
'actchy'.lstrip('tac')
# 'hy'
is stripping, from the left, all 'c's and all 'a's and all 't's -- not just the
first three, and order does not matter.
