There are several methods to do this I am discussing a few with you:

  • Use rstrip

 >>> 'test string\n'.rstrip()

'test string'

   To use this for newlines:

 >>> 'test string \n \r\n\n\r \n\n'.rstrip('\n')

'test string \n \r\n\n\r '

  • You can also use lstrip() and strip() 

 >>> s = " \n\r\n \n abc def \n\r\n \n "

>>> s.strip()
'qwe   rty'
>>> s.lstrip()
'qwe   rty \n\r\n  \n  '
>>> s.rstrip()
'   \n\r\n  \n  qwe   rty'
