[Fernando Armenta]

How you cut off the ^M at the end of a line? rstrip is not working.

Do you mean the newline character? If your string variable is named
build_number, then

build_number = build_number.rstrip('/n')

works. Sorry if this isn't what you meant. But the format should be
the same. If you did mean ^M then perhaps a hex or octal
representation?

chomp in Perl change the string in place
rstrip in Python is method, it does NOT change the string in place
'abc'

Strings in Perl are mutable so chomp() change the string in place.
Strings in Python are *not* mutable, so rstrip() does *not* change
the string in place.
'abc'
