>>> import string 
>>> string.replace("s\240p\240a\240m","\240","") 
'spam'



But I want to actually strip them out of my string:

Can't exactly do that.  Strings are immutable.  If you don't know what 
I mean by immutable, find out (mutability is a key concept of python). 

(Hint: if strings were not immutable, they could not be safely used as 
keys in dictionaries.) 

So you'll have to settle for: 

>>> s = "s\240p\240a\240m" 
>>> s = string.replace(s, "\240", "") 
>>> print s 
spam
