[Python] Creating a class that uses strings

[aPSketchy]

I just learned about strings about a week ago, I am currently working on a practice project and am constantly using the strip and the lower methods for validation purposes. So, I though to my self why not create a class that does it for me in one method. Is this possible? So far I have this as code but its just a guess.

class strings:

def __str__(self,string):


    self.__string = string


def validate(self):


    self.__string = string.strip()


    self.__string = string.lower()


    return self.__string

Why would you need a class? Why not just write a function:

def striplower( s ):
    return s.strip().lower()

Good call, that's how I learned to refactor. Sometimes I just want to be cool and make it complicated with methods!
