【Python】去掉字符串前后空格的函数

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
def trim(s):
    # print("in：", s)
    if len(s) < 0:
        return ''
    
    # 去掉前面空格
    index = 0
    while index < len(s):
        if s[index] == ' ':
            if index+1 == len(s):
                return ''
            else:
                index += 1
        else:
            s = s[index:]
            break
    
    # print("-：", s, "-")
    
    # 去掉后面空格
    index=-1
    while index >= -len(s):
        if s[index] == ' ':
            index -= 1
        else:
            if index == -1:
                break
            else:
                s = s[:index+1]
                break
    # print("out：", s)
    return s

# 测试:
if trim('hello  ') != 'hello':
    print('测试失败!')
elif trim('  hello') != 'hello':
    print('测试失败!')
elif trim('  hello  ') != 'hello':
    print('测试失败!')
elif trim('  hello  world  ') != 'hello  world':
    print('测试失败!')
elif trim('') != '':
    print('测试失败!')
elif trim('    ') != '':
    print('测试失败!')
else:
    print('测试成功!')
