Where can I see that? From the python language documentation here:
http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html
you can look up readline() and see:
----------
readline( [size])
Read one entire line from the file. A trailing newline character is
kept in the string
---------
There is a function called strip() that will strip off all leading and
trailing whitespace on a string, e.g. a newline.
