You could try

for item in fname:

This is one case where I really miss Perl's "chomp" function. It removes a trailing newline and nothing else, so you don't have to worry about losing
leading or trailing spaces if those are important to you.

... and it's so hard to write

     item = item[:-1]

Tsk.  That would be "chop".  "chomp" would be

    if item[-1] == '\n':
        item = item[:-1]
