I started out to write my own version and found that is was much like 
yours. Assuming that I am a perfect programmer, then you must be one too.

The only thing I'd change is eliminate import string and use the native 
string strip method.

BTW what would make it "better"? Less lines; more sophisticated use of 
builtins? or ???
