Well, if you have any questions on certain topics, feel free to ask them
here.  If there's some part of Python that doesn't seem well documented,
we can help patch it up... *grin*

By the way, it sounds like you may be doing some string manipulation
stuff.  If so, take a look here:

    http://python.org/doc/lib/strings.html

It gives more specific information on string manipulation.  For example,
you can find information on strip() and its variants here:
