I am using the re.sub command to remove trailing whitespace from lines

Help on method_descriptor:
rstrip(...)
S.rstrip([chars]) -> str
Return a copy of the string S with trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
Should be mush faster.
The commands I use are copied below. If you have any
suggestions on how they could be improved, I would love to know.
Thanks,
