doh, right, my "C" brain took over here, i was
thinking the other method wouldn't work and somehow
both looping methods turned on in my brain...
i guess there would just be a problem with the
while 1 idiom
while 1:
line = file.readline(chomp=1)
if not line: break
not as big a problem as i originally thought. not with
xreadlines and other new looping methods that get us
away from the while 1 standard
