bytearray.rstrip

bytearray — stripping

Return a copy with the given bytes removed from the right; by default strips ASCII whitespace.

Syntax

ba.rstrip(...)

The argument is a set of bytes, not a suffix: rstrip(b'an') keeps removing trailing 'a' and 'n' bytes, so b'banana' collapses to b'b'. If you mean "drop this exact ending", use removesuffix() (3.9+). The call returns a new bytearray and leaves the original as it was.

Examples

print(bytearray(b'hi  ').rstrip())   # → bytearray(b'hi')
print(bytearray(b'file.txt...').rstrip(b'.'))   # → bytearray(b'file.txt')
print(bytearray(b'xxhixx').rstrip(b'x'))   # → bytearray(b'xxhi')
print(bytearray(b'banana').rstrip(b'an'))   # → bytearray(b'b')
print(bytearray(b'  hi  ').strip())   # → bytearray(b'hi')
