getting a process's PID

[eldorado]

Hello,

I am trying to get python to give me the PID of a process (in this case 
HUB).  I have it working, except for the fact that the output includes 
\012 (newline).  Is there a way to ask python not to give me a newline?

Python 1.4 (Oct 14 1997) [C]

>>> import os
>>> g = os.popen("ps -ef | grep HUB | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'")
>>> h = g.readlines()
>>> g.close()
>>> h
['87334\012']

Thanks in advanced for any guidance.
