[issue5439] string.strip behaves strangly

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#string.strip

string.strip(s[, chars])

    Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing characters
removed. If chars is omitted or None, whitespace characters are removed.
If given and not None, chars must be a string; the characters in the
string **will be stripped from the both ends** of the string this method
is called on.
