Use regex and .strip(). For example:

import re

my_string = "some unmeaning text about nothing "
my_string = re.sub(' +', ' ', my_string).strip()
print(my_string)

Answer 8

To remove the whitespaces and trailing spaces from the string, Python providies strip([str]) built-in function. This function returns a copy of the string after removing whitespaces if present. Otherwise returns original string.

string = " sololearn "
string2 = " sololearn "
string3 = " sololearn"
print(string)
print(string2)
print(string3)
print("After stripping all have placed in a sequence:")
print(string.strip())
print(string2.strip())
print(string3.strip())

sololearn
sololearn
sololearn
After stripping all have placed in a sequence:

sololearn

sololearn

sololearn
