It appears to work for the string *methods*, but not with the string module:

#v+
>>> "test".strip("t")
'es'
>>> import string
>>> print string.strip("test", "t")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: strip() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
>>>
#v-

I've filed a bug report at Sourceforge:
