[Tutor] how to strip whitespaces from a string.

[kumar s]

Thank you. 
 But I messed up my question. 
s = "   I am learning python    "
f = s.strip()
f 
'I am learning python'

How can I get the ouput to:

'Iamlearningpython'.

That mean how can i remove whitespaces between words
in a line and join all the words.

sorry for asking twisted question. 

Thank you.
