LOL, I appreciate the compliment, but yes I agree better naming is good.

Usually I use str.[lr]strip() with no parameters which just cleans all
the whitespace. I completely forgot you could just do
line.rstrip('\n') there... Sorry about that.
I also tried to remove the newlines in readlines(), but I couldn't
figure it out... Hopefully that issue will get resolved because I feel
like there should be some way to do it automatically.
