How to remove the left part of a string?

by

If the string is fixed you can simply use:

if line.startswith("Path="):
    return line[5:]

which gives you everything from position 5 on in the string (a string is also a sequence so these sequence operators work here, too).

Or you can split the line at the first =:

if "=" in line:
    param, value = line.split("=",1)

Then param is “Path” and value is the rest after the first =.
