It's quite improper (though syntactically null, in Python) to have trailing whitespace on lines. That includes blank lines. One major reason is that trailing whitespace causes spurious invisible differences between otherwise-identical lines when doing an automatic comparison, which is done quite a lot in collaboration and version control. Fix your text editor (which may entail switching to a better text editor) to respect blank lines and the conventions of the language. -- \ “Hey Homer! You're late for English!” “Pff!
