Using the While Loop

[Mike Johnson]

Hello all,

I don't see why this first code snippet won't work, but I can't find any
pointers in the documentation.

-------------------------------------- 
#!/usr/bin/python2.1

myfile = open ("/tmp/messages")

while line = myfile.readline():
    print line
--------------------------------------

But this works fine:
--------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python2.1

myfile = open ("/tmp/messages")

line = myfile.readline()
while line:
    print line
    line = myfile.readline()
--------------------------------------

Thanks for any help!
