Giving strip methods an optional arguments, the characters that are OK to throw away (stopping the stripping when a not-to-be-thrown- away character shows up -- defaulting to whitespace like now of course), would help here and also with other related issues such as emulating Perl's "chomp". I also think it's the kind of change that would be OK in a minor release in the stable branch.

This is http://python.org/sf/444708.
