Also ${str.strip()} works. It uses the Extended variable syntax Example:

*** Variables ***
${str}=    ${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}foo${SPACE}${SPACE}${SPACE}

*** Test cases ***
print string
    log    ${str}         # will be printed with spaces around it
    log    ${str.strip()} # will be printed without spaces around it

Run with pybot -L TRACE to see what is being passed to log keyword.
