Python Strip Unexpected Behavior

I was stripping a file name in python for routing purposes and I was getting some unexpected behavior with the python strip function. I've read the docs and searched online but hav

Solution 1:

strip() would strip all the characters provided in the argument - in your case ., m and d.

Instead, you can use os.path.splitext():

import os
os.path.splitext("Getting-StarteX.md")[0]

Solution 2:

If there is only one ".md" appearing at the end of the testing string, you can also use

"Getting-Started.md".split('.md')[0]

Thanks @Carpetsmoker remind me the assumption.
