[New-bugs-announce] [issue25979] String functions lstrip are not working properly when you have escape sequence

[Kiran Kotari]

New submission from Kiran Kotari:

In this python code I am collecting list of folders present in the given location path with parent folder and print the folder names (output went wrong due to escape sequence values with lstrip.)
Note :
"\a \b \f \r \v \0 \1" are working fine. 
"\c \e \n \ne \t \te" went wrong.

Folder Structure : 
parent ->
      cat
      eat
      east
      next
      nest
      test

Wrong Output :
Path: .\parent\, List:  ['cat', 'st', '', 'st', 'xt', 'st']
