I want to eliminate all the whitespace from a string, on both ends, and in between words.
I have this Python code:
def my_handle(self):
sentence = ' hello apple '
sentence.strip()
But that only eliminates the whitespace on both sides of the string. How do I remove all whitespace?

If you want to remove leading and ending spaces, use
str.strip()
:If you want to remove all space characters, use
str.replace()
(NB this only removes the “normal” ASCII space character' ' U+0020
but not any other whitespace):If you want to remove duplicated spaces, use
str.split()
followed bystr.join()
