Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

Since following the spec is not a bug, this issue is a feature request for 3.3. 
I agree with just being lenient with no added parameter. Perhaps that should be 
mentioned in the doc with (or in) a version-added note. Senthil: does doc 
standard allow something like

Version added 3.3: Ignore blanks lines within record groups.
?

----------
title: robotparser.RobotFileParser ignores rules preceeded by a blank line -> 
Make robotparser.RobotFileParser ignore blank lines
type: behavior -> feature request
versions:  -Python 2.7, Python 3.2
