Only when the EOF is reached will you read an entirely empty line. Real
empty lines read as a newline terminator.
However, there are any better ways to process the lines of a file than
reading it line by line. For example you can iterate over the lines with
something like
f = open("myfile.txt", 'r')
for line in f:
... do something with line ...
