Why wasnt the
strip() removes leading and trailing characters, which is why the 't' in
the middle of the string was not removed. To remove the 't' in the
middle, str1.replace('t','') is one option.

Try help(ste.strip)
It clearly states if chars is given and not None, remove characters in
chars instead.
Does it mean remove only the first

Because str.strip() only removes leading or trailing characters. If
you want to remove all the t's, use str.replace:
'this is a test'.replace('t', '')
