strip( s[, chars])
Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing characters
removed. If chars is omitted or None, whitespace characters are removed.
If given and not None, chars must be a string; the characters in the
string will be stripped from the both ends of the string this method is
called on. Changed in version 2.2.3: The chars parameter was added. The
chars parameter cannot be passed in earlier 2.2 versions.
What characters are included as whitespace characters? Spaces? Tabs?
Newlines? For some reason, I was reading whitespace as just spaces.

See http://docs.python.org/lib/node39.html
"whitespace
A string containing all characters that are considered whitespace.
On most systems this includes the characters space, tab, linefeed,
return, formfeed, and vertical tab. Do not change its definition -- the
effect on the routines strip() and split() is undefined."
