I want to strip unicode string from the list for example airports [u'KATL',u'KCID']
expected output
[KATL,KCID]
Followed the below link
Strip all the elements of a string list
Tried one of the solution
my_list = ['this\n', 'is\n', 'a\n', 'list\n', 'of\n', 'words\n']
map(str.strip, my_list) ['this', 'is', 'a', 'list', 'of', 'words']
got the following error
TypeError: descriptor 'strip' requires a 'str' object but received a 'unicode'
