You can use the strip() method: [http://docs.python.org/release/2.3/lib/module-string.html]

While reading the file as strings, the strip() method rips out all of the extra whitespace.

Good luck!


Well it's not so simple, I clearly don't want to strip out whitespace in the beginning of the line,
or my nice code will break miserably ;)

So I think some magic using tokens/regexp/python grammar would be useful to do something
reliable, or is it easier than that?
