How you chomp in python

[Jeremy Dillworth]

Strings in Python are immutable.

Any time you perform an operation that seems like it might change a string, 
what really happens is a new string is returned.

this:
string.rstrip(build_number)

returns your chomped string, but it's not being assigned to anything.  'Poor 
thing never had a chance ... :)

You probably want:

build_number = string.rstrip(build_number)

or the more preferred way:

build_number = build_number.rstrip()
