[Thomas Turner]

New submission from Thomas Turner <tturner at joinerysoft.com>:

Problem with lstrip 

>>> s = 'msgid "supplier code"'
>>>
>>> s.lstrip('msgid "')
'upplier code"'
>>>

It should come back with supplier code"
To get round the bug I did 

>>> s.lstrip('msgid ').lstrip('"')
'supplier code"'
>>>
