No need to import string, you can use the builtin str:
>>> help(str.rstrip)
Help on method_descriptor:
rstrip(...)
S.rstrip([chars]) -> string or unicode
Return a copy of the string S with trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
If chars is unicode, S will be converted to unicode before stripping
>>> help(str.ljust)
Help on method_descriptor:
ljust(...)
S.ljust(width[, fillchar]) -> string
Return S left justified in a string of length width. Padding is
done using the specified fill character (default is a space).
