for line in files:
with open(file) as lines:
for line in lines: # you can iterate over the file directly;
# no need for the intermediate list built by
# the readlines() method
line = line.partition("#")[0] # remove comment
line = line.rstrip() # remove trailing whitespace
policy_lines.append(line)
print line
If you want to keep trailing whitespace other than the newline replace
line = line.rstrip()
with
line = line.rstrip("\n\r")
