Meador Inge added the comment: The current behavior seems consistent with the lexical definition for blank lines [1]:
""" A logical line that contains only spaces, tabs, formfeeds and possibly a comment, is ignored (i.e., no NEWLINE token is generated). """ NL and COMMENT are used for items that the CPython tokenizer ignores (and are not really tokens). Also, the test suite explicitly tests for this case. Perhaps the tokenize documentation should be updated to say something like: """ NL tokens are generated when a logical line of code is continued over multiple physical lines and for blank lines.
