How to remove whitespaces from a string in Python?

Hi, I want to know How to remove whitespaces from a string in Python

#2 
# first you need a precise definition of the characters included in the term "whitespace"
# one such definition is provided in the string module
import string
the_whites = set(string.whitespace) # space, tab, linefeed, return, formfeed, and vertical tab
original_string = ' the frog     jumped'
no_white = []

for char in original_string:
    if char not in the_whites:
        no_white.append(char)

no_white_string = ""
no_white_string = no_white_string.join(no_white)
print(original_string)
print(no_white_string)
#3

How about:

new_string = "".join(old_string.split())

There is also

import re
new_string = re.sub(r"\s+", "", old_string)
