python print 换行 list_Python打印不需要的多余换行符

Why is that Python always prints an extra newline when I run the code below? I tried to re-write the code to eliminate any unintended blank space but it still prints out an extra new line. Anyone knows why? Thanks.

def main():

names_in() #This function import the file and read all the content and put the content into a list.

print_names(names_in) # Before the names are sorted.

def names_in():

infile = open('names.txt','r')

names_list = [] #empty list.

names = infile.readline() # read contents.

#loop for continue to read.

while names != '':

names = infile.readline() #continue to the next name.

names = names.rstrip('\n') #return a copy of the string which all \n has been stripped from the end of the string.

names_list.append(names) #write names in the file into a list.

infile.close()

return names_list #return the list back to the function.

def print_names(names_in): #This function will print out the names in the list one per line, single-spaced.

for item in names_in():

print(item)

main()

The reason that your code prints an extra newline is because in the last iteration of the names_in function, the variable names is ``, which gets appended to the end of names_list, causing the print_names function to run print '' at the end, which prints an extra newline.
