title: How to trim a series of string objects in python?
body: <p>is there any way to trim a series of string objects with out using for loop. I can do this element by element. I have a series <code>a</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>print a
  0    ﻿164
  1     164
  2     164
  3     164
  4     164
  5     164
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now I have to remove space at the start of each " 164"s.
   <code>a.strip()</code> results in <code>AttributeError: 'Series' object has no attribute 'strip'</code>
  Any help appreciated.</p>
