title: Strip spaces/tabs/newlines - python
body: <p>I am trying to remove all spaces/tabs/newlines in python 2.7 on Linux.</p>
  
  <p>I wrote this, that should do the job:    </p>
  
  <pre><code>myString="I want to Remove all white \t spaces, new lines \n and tabs \t"
  myString = myString.strip(' \n\t')
  print myString
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>I want to Remove all white   spaces, new lines 
   and tabs
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems like a simple thing to do, yet I am missing here something. Should I be importing something?</p>
