I think the "blank line" is coming from your shell.  In Windows, I 
believe the shell emits a newline after running a program, probably to 
make sure the prompt starts in column 0.

Note that if your python program writes a partial line to stdout, this 
will "finish" the line before giving you the next prompt.  So the line 
isn't necessarily blank.
