title: rstrip(), lstrip(), and strip() in Python
body: <p>I am using Sublime Text version 3.0 and my input is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>little_known_person = "' Christopher '"
  
  print(little_known_person.strip())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but my output is <code>' Christopher '</code> instead of <code>'Christopher'</code>. The output is the same if I try the <code>rstrip()</code> and <code>lstrip()</code> methods.</p>
