title: removing random whitespace
body: <p>All,</p>
  
  <p>I have some indexed text that I would like to format in a more uniform manor. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>I    live in  Virginia   and it is  raining     today
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like that to print out as </p>
  
  <pre><code>I live in Virginia and it is raining today
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am writing my application in Python so if anyone knows how to do this sort of string manipulation, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Adam</p>
