'file' is the builtin type for file objects (like the one returned by
open()). Avoid using it as an identifier, this shadows the file type.

As Thomas pointed out, this is not an empty string !-)
Also, this is not a for loop...

Do yourself a favor, use a for loop. Also, a file opened in read mode is
already an iterator :
f = open('path/to/file')
for line in f:
do_something_with(line)
f.close()
