Depending on what you mean by "remove whitespace":
'abcdefg'

From the ends or all of it?

From the ends,
" hello ".strip()
gives "hello"

There are lstrip and rstrip if you only want to strip from one end.

To get rid of all whitespace I'd probably do:

import string
string.join(" hello there world ".split(), "")

which gives
'hellothereworld'

Though there may be an easier way.
