Remove trailing newline from the elements of a string list
You can either use a list comprehension
my_list = ['this\n', 'is\n', 'a\n', 'list\n', 'of\n', 'words\n']stripped = [s.strip() for s in my_list]or alternatively use map():
stripped = list(map(str.strip, my_list))In Python 2, map() directly returned a list, so you didn't need the call to list. In Python 3, the list comprehension is more concise and generally considered more idiomatic.
You can use lists comprehensions:
strip_list = [item.strip() for item in lines]Or the map function:
# with a lambdastrip_list = map(lambda it: it.strip(), lines)# without a lambdastrip_list = map(str.strip, lines)
