What did you expect? Quoting from the docs, """The chars argument is not a prefix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped: >>> 'www.example.com'.lstrip('cmowz.') 'example.com' """

print '_element_no_of_hsscch'.lstrip.__doc__ S.lstrip([chars]) -> string or unicode Return a copy of the string S with leading whitespace removed. If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead. If chars is unicode, S will be converted to unicode before stripping Ok, I didn't understand it correctly, because i red only __doc__ from which is not the functionality clear. I found a workaround for it... Let's leave it closed.
