> String method to remove trailing newline

there is a string method named "strip()" that will
remove all whitespace (newline&linefeeds included)
from a string.

actually, since strings are immutable, it returns a
new string with the appropriate changes made.

there are also "rstrip" and "lstrip" functions which
will remove whitespace from only the end or beginning
of the string.


>>> print 'Example string gotten from readline\n'.strip()
'Example string gotten from readline'
