python去除行末符EOL的一般方法

原帖：http://stackoverflow.com/questions/339537/end-line-characters-from-lines-read-from-text-file-using-python

1.

When reading lines from a text file using python, the end-line character often needs to be truncated before processing the text, as in the following example:

    f = open("myFile.txt", "r")
    for line in f:
        line = line[:-1]
        # do something with line

Is there an elegant way or idiom for retrieving text lines without the end-line character?

The idiomatic way to do this in Python is to use rstrip('\n'):

for line in open('myfile.txt'):  # opened in text-mode; all EOLs are converted to '\n'
    line = line.rstrip('\n')
    process(line)

Each of the other alternatives has a gotcha:

• file('...').read().splitlines() has to load the whole file in memory at once.
• line = line[:-1] will fail if the last line has no EOL.
