title: Splitting string and removing whitespace Python
body: <p>I would like to split a String by comma <code>','</code> and remove whitespace from the beginning and end of each split. </p>
  
  <p>For example, if I have the string:</p>
  
  <p><code>"QVOD,  Baidu Player"</code></p>
  
  <p>I would like to split and strip to:</p>
  
  <p><code>['QVOD', 'Baidu Player']</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there an elegant way of doing this? Possibly using a list comprehension?</p>
