Ok, didn't show the whole problem...
I will read the doc anyway, but why "questions.html" keep it "t"??
>>> test=['03.html', '06.html', 'questions.html', '04.html', 'toc.html',
'01.html', '05.html', '07.html', '02.html', '08.html']
>>> test[4]
'toc.html'
>>> test[4].strip('.html')
'oc'
>>> test[2].strip('.html')
'questions'
It doesn't strip the character set from the whole string, it strips it from
the beginning and end of the string only. If it encounters a character that
isn't in the set, it stops. Does this make it more clear?
'aabdabcdccb'.strip('cba')
'dabcd'
