Usually my code skips all empty lines, after the '#' is removed from the
line
Allowing comment in input files is IMO usefull (but others may disagree)

Since I usually skip empty lines, my line-parsing code looks like:

	for line in string.split (open (file).read (), '\n'):
		line = string.split (line, '#')[0]
		if not line: continue
		# insert 'real' code here ...

Now it doesn't matter if the last line is empty or not
