With "row with nothing in it", you mean "row containing the empty string"? > When such a list is iterated over (as below), Spyder hangs indefinitely. > > for item in textlist: > print item > > While debugging through Spyder (Ctrl+F5), it hangs indefinitely.

Please direct me if this is not a Python issue but > an Anaconda issue. I do not know "Sypder" (nor "Anaconda"). However, your observation does not indicate a Python problem. For a Python problem, the "run(F5)" should misbehave as well. Maybe, the question will get better answers on an "Anaconda" mailing list? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
