Reading lines from text file in python (windows)


python windows json io

Python keeps the new line characters while enumerating lines. For example, when enumerating a text file such as

foobar

you get two strings: "foo\n" and "bar\n". If you don't want the terminal new line characters, you call strip().

I am not a fan of this behavior by the way.

See this.

Python is usually built with universal newline support; supplying 'U' opens the file as a text file, but lines may be terminated by any of the following: the Unix end-of-line convention '\n', the Macintosh convention '\r', or the Windows convention '\r\n'

You need the strip() because "for line in file:" keeps the line terminators on the lines. It's not explicitly stated in the docs (at least in the 2.71 doc I'm looking at). But it functions in a fashion similar to file.readline(), which does explicitly state that it retains the newline.
