error in string module documentation?

[Michael Anckaert]

Hello all,
In the string module documentation I read the following:


lstrip(s[, chars])
        Return a copy of the string with leading characters removed. If
        chars is omitted or None, whitespace characters are removed. If
        given and not None, chars must be a string; the characters in
        the string will be stripped from the beginning of the string
        this method is called on.
        
But I get the following error from my program:

  File "./game.py", line 35, in run_game
    item = string.lstrip(cmd, "look")
TypeError: lstrip() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Is there an error in the documentation or is it my error?
