Need a little parse help

[Michael Hartl]

I'd also like to note that both the inputfiles variable and the
readlines() method are superfluous; to iterate through the file line by
line, use either

for line in open(inputfilename):
    # do something with line

or (my personal preference, since I like to think of the file as a
thing rather than an action)

for line in file(inputfilename):
    # do something with line

(Note also that the 'r' argument to open/file is the default and so can
be omitted.)
