import string


lfile  = "test.zip.gpg"
print lfile
lfile = lfile.rstrip(".gpg")
print lfile

should result in the same thing as:


lfile  = "test.zip.gpg"
print lfile
lfile = lfile.rstrip("gpg")
lfile = lfile.rstrip(".")
print lfile

but it does not

This is not a bug. The argument to rstrip is a string that
contains the individual characters that are to be removed.
They can occur in any order and quantity at the end of the
string.

BTW, one way to do what you want is:

if lfile.endswith('.gpg'): lfile = lfile(:-4)
