 ' '.join(i for i in 'I am good boy'.split(' ') if i != '')

It can be simplified to replace arbitrary whitespace characters (including '\ n') with one space: s = ' '.join(s.split())

Using regular expressions:

 In [1]: s = 'I am good boy' In [2]: import re In [3]: re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', s) Out[3]: 'I am good boy'
