Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment:
Yes, it is expected.
When you call .strip() without args it strips the whitespaces, when you
call with an arg it strips only what you specified.
In this example:
>>> s.strip('"')
' "Peter'
the left " is not removed because there's a space in between, in this
example:
>>> s.strip().strip('"')
'Peter'
you first remove the space and then the two ".
