Version:
========
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jan 14 2008, 18:31:21)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)] on linux2
Description:
============
When the pattern used for strip contains "-" character then it removes one more characters next to it.
>>> a = 'image-abc-1.2.0-12_1234_123'
>>> b = a.strip('image-')
>>> print b
bc-1.2.0-12_1234_123
>From the above print statement we can see that instead of 'bc-1.2.0-12_1234_123', it prints only 'bc-1.2.0-12_1234_123'.
The first character "a" next to "-" is missing.
