BeautifulSoup - getting cells without new line characters

 From a table, I want to get the cells for then only choose
some of them. 

<table>
<tr>
<td>WY</td>
<td>Wyo.</td>
</tr>
...
</table> 

Using: 

for row in table('tr'): print row.contents 

   ['\n', <td>WY</td>, '\n',
<td>Wyo.</td>, '\n']
   [...] 

I get a new line character between each cell. 

Is possible get them without those '\n'? 

Thanks in advance!

Well, the newlines are in your data, so you need to strip
them or ignore 
them somewhere.

You don't say what you are actually trying to do, maybe
this is close:
   for row in table('tr'):
     cellText = [cell.string for cell in row('td')]
     print ' '.join(cellText)

I want only (for each row) to get some positions (i.e. 
row.contents[0],row.contents[2])
