This is exactly as expected.


Strip removes any of the characters in the passed string from both the 
front and the end of the string being stripped.

The letter 'T' from the start of 'The meaning of life' does not appear 
in the word 'meaning' so nothing is removed from the start of the 
string.


The letter 'e' from the end of 'The meaning of life' does appear in the 
word 'meaning' so it is removed from the sentence; it will then look at 
the next last letter 'f', but since this doesn't appear in the word 
'meaning' nothing else is removed and the new string is returned.

The argument passed to strip(..) method is the set of characters to be 
removed - so any characters in that set are removed from the start and 
end of the string.

Hello dears,

First of all i am not sure about this issue       please advise me if 
there is any mistake   in my report.


  for example in python 3.6.3 shell:


>>> x= "The meaning of life" x.strip("meaning")
'The meaning of lif'


As you see the letter "e" of  the word "life"  is removed.


Sincerely yours.
J.Mohammadi
