New submission from Alan Beccati alan.becc...@gmail.com:
Hello,
did I discover a python string comparison bug or is this behaviour expected and
I am doing something wrong?
This is the code I run:
for line in lines[4:]:
currColl=line.split(:)[1].strip()
print
Florent Xicluna florent.xicl...@gmail.com added the comment:
collName is probably not what you expect.
You can print repr(collName), repr(currColl) to verify this.
It is not a bug on Python side.

Using repr highlights the issue which lies in the behaviour of str.strip()
which does not strip away null spaces as I would have expected:
' 'utm10\x00' ' == ' 'utm10' '
not equal
Changing the code to:
currColl=line.split(:)[1].strip().strip(\0)

Nope, str.strip only strips whitespace, and \x00 is not considered whitespace:
'\x00'.isspace()
False
