strip()疑问？

[explist]

print('abdpab sa'.strip('pab'))

为什么结果是：'dpab s'

Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing characters removed. If chars is omitted or None, whitespace characters are removed. If given and not None, chars must be a string; the characters in the string will be stripped from the both ends of the string this method is called on.
