3, python seems to read this using two reads. This makes the above example will be

You don't show any code so it's hard to say what is going on.
My guess is that your file contains spurious newlines and/or CRLF combinations.
Try opening the file in universal newline mode and see what happens?
with open("fortranfile.txt", "rU") as f:
for line in f:
print("LINE:", line)

Thanks Irmen,
I tried with "rU" but that did not make a difference. The problem is a line
that with one single write statement in my fortran code :
write(UNIT=9,FMT="(99g20.8)") value
seems to be read in two python inputfile.readline().
Any ideas how I should be fixing this?
Thanks,
What is actually in the file?
Try opening it in binary mode and print using the ascii function:
with open("fortranfile.txt", "rb") as f:
contents = f.read()
print("CONTENTS:", ascii(contents))
