Error using string.strip

[Eric Hausig]

Thanks to all for the response!  import string did it!

I'm going through the online tutorial at www.python.org.  Unfortunately,
they didn't make mention of import prior to the String section of the
tutorial.  Hehe....this is a really neat language so far.

Blushing a little,

Eric
