[New-bugs-announce] [issue42313] rstrip removes the trailing `e`s.

[Athul R]

New submission from Athul R <athulkannadi at gmail.com>:

rstrip removes the trailing `e`s. 

i = "external_eeeeeeeee_object"
i = i.rstrip('_object')
print(i) 
"""
It should have printed `external_eeeeeeeee` but it prints only `external_`. 
"""

It happens only when I user rstrip("_object") not for other strings. 

# =======================================================
# it works fine in the below case. 


i = "external_eeeeeeeee_trail"
i = i.rstrip('_trail')
print(i) 
"""
It should have prints `external_eeeeeeeee`
"""
