Even easier (if you only want to replace blank spaces, and not all 
whitespace):

string = 'D c a V e r " = d w o r d : 0 0 0 0 0 6 4 0'
string.replace(" ", "")

Note to the original poster: It's a *bad* idea to call a variable 
'string', as there's already a module in the standard library called 
'string'.
