I'm parsing some text files, and I want to strip blank lines in the
process. Is there a simpler way to do this than what I have here?
lines = filter(lambda line: len(line.strip()) > 0, lines)
xlines = (line for line in open(filename) if line.strip())
Bye,

Of if you want to filter/loop at the same time, or if you don't want all the
lines in memory at the same time:
fp = open(filename, 'r')
for line in fp:
if not line.strip():
continue
#
# Do something with the non-blank like:
#
fp.close()
