The above solutions suggesting the use of regex aren't ideal because this is such a small task and regex requires more resource overhead than the simplicity of the task justifies.
Here's what I do:
myString = myString.replace(' ', '').replace('\t', '').replace('\n', '')
or if you had a bunch of things to remove such that a single line solution would be gratuitously long:
removal_list = [' ', '\t', '\n']
for s in removal_list:
myString = myString.replace(s, '')
