Ah, that does make sense. Didn't think of that.
" f.readline() reads a single line from the file; a newline character (\n)
is left at the end of the string "
The last element of your chems list will still contain that trailing
linefeed. Try this when initially loading the chems list:
chems = [c.strip() for c in infile.readline().split(',')]
That did the trick.
Thank you both, Jonathan and Ethan, for the lessons.
Much appreciated,
Rich
