How to remove space from end of line in Python?

Question

I need to remove spaces after a word in a string. Can this be done in one line of code?

Example:

string = " xyz " desired result : " xyz" 

Answer 1

 >>> " xyz ".rstrip() ' xyz'

Answer 2

SilentGhost's answer is pretty neat. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that str.rstrip() returns a copy of the result, this function does not change str .
