perl chomp equivalent in python?

Assuming that you know that the line has been read, and the newline is the
last character of the line, you can simply do line = line[:-1]. This will
chop the last character. Works for any character you're trying to chop... so
it's not limited to just the newline, so be careful.

Hope this helps.
