You'd get the above with Fredrik's solution if there is a newline. That's
why I put in the rstrip() method call (which removes trailing whitespace)
and added an explicit "\n" (the Python way to spell newline). With my
approach
if line.startswith("==="):
line = line.rstrip() + "===\n"
you should always get
===test===(and then a newline)
