How to trim whitespace in python

Question

I have string:

lote1 = 'GO, DF, MS'
lote1.strip()
print(lote1)

GO, DF, MS

I need:

GO,DF,MS

Which do you need, `'GO, DF, MS'` or `'GO,DF,MS'`? Your post isn't clear. — wflynny, Nov 05 '13 at 18:20

The question is too vague.

Just in case you need just to strip space both at the beginning and the end of comma-delimited strings:

> s = "   foo bar bar  baar  ,   foo bar , foo bar bar bar "
> ",".join(x.strip() for x in s.split(","))
'foo bar bar  baar,foo bar,foo bar bar bar'
