How to Remove a Trailing Newline in Python

John on April 13, 2021

To remove a trailing newline (\n) on a string in Python, use the rstrip() function from the str package like this:

string = 'abc\n'

new_str = str.rstrip(string)

print(new_str)

abc

str.rstrip() does not modify the original string so the result will need to be stored in a new variable.
