python does not work with regular re.sub, which sometimes needs to clear the Spaces before and after a string, but the Spaces of the characters themselves do not.
This is where the strip() function comes in
Usage:
str = ' 2014-04-21 14:10:18 '
str2 = str.strip()
str3 = re.sub(' ','',str)
print str2
print str3
The results are as follows:
>2014-04-21 14:10:18
>2014-04-2114:10:18
