Answer 1

def f(word):
    return word.strip()
data_list = map(f, data_list)

Answer 2

replaces = inString.replace("\n", "");

Answer 3

Davide's answer can be written even simpler as:

data_list = [word.strip() for word in data_list]

But I'm not sure it's what you want. Please write some sample in python.

Answer 4

First, you can use strip() to get rid of '\n':

>>> data = line.strip().split(',')

Secondly, you may want to use the csv module to do that:

>>> import csv
>>> f = open("test")
>>> r = csv.reader(f)
>>> print(r.next())
['action', 'employee_id', 'name']

Answer 5

I'd do like that:

in_string.replace('\n', ',', 1).split(',')
