Help on built-in function strip:
strip(...) method of builtins.str instance
S.strip([chars]) -> str
Return a copy of the string S with leading and trailing
whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It strips any chars given in the argument, not as a prefix/suffix to remove.
