How to remove white spaces from a string in Python?

Question

I need to remove spaces from a string in python. For example.

str1 = \"TN 81 NZ 0025\"

str1sp = nospace(srt1)

print(str1sp)

>>>TN81NZ0025

Mind that in python strings are immutable and string replace function returns a string with the replaced value. If you are not executing the statement at the shell but inside a file,

 new_str = old_str.replace(" ","" )

This will replace all the white spaces in the string. If you want to replace only the first n white spaces,

new_str = old_str.replace(" ","", n)

where n is a number.
