The most general would be to use rstrip() without
arguments:
>>> a="some string\r\n"
>>> a.rstrip()
'some string'

but be careful, because it will also cut whitespaces:
>>> a="some string\t \r\n"
>>> a.rstrip()
'some string'

so maybe you could do this:
>>> a.rstrip('\n').rstrip('\r')
'some string\t '
