Is there any way to delete characters at the end of a string in python? For example: a="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" B="ABCDEFGH"

I need the string "a" to be the same size as "b", is it possible?

I need them the same size to do a cryptographic process, one would be the key and the other plaintext

string python criptografia

Another way would be to do a slicing, look like this:

a_fatiado = (a[0:8])

similar way to the first solution presented but without using the 'len' function.

Do this:

 a_cortado = a[:len(b)]

In doing so, you will be cutting the string of a exactly the same size as b .
