This is almost too trivial, but perhaps it will be useful to perl fugitives searching for a pythonic way to remove line endings from strings.
The answer: use rstrip()
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | # single-liners using rstrip()
strvar = strvar.rstrip()
strlist = [l.strip for l in strlist]
filelines = [l.rstrip() for l in open(filename)]

Not quite the same as chomp. 'chomp' removes the newline only. An equivalent call would be:
A bare 'rstrip' removes all whitespace from the end.
