problems with CSV module

[Carlos Grohmann]

Hi all, I'm using csv to read text files, and its working fine, except
in two cases:

- when there is only one line of text (data) in the file
- when there is a blank line after the last data line

this is the kind of data:

45 67 89
23 45 06
12 34 67
...


and this is the function:

def getData(paths):
    """get data from file and create lists with values and column
names."""

    filehandle = paths#[i] # filehandle = os.path.join(dirname,
filename)
    csvfile = open(filehandle,'r') # Open the file and read the
contents

    sample = csvfile.read( 1024 )# Grab a sample
    csvfile.seek( 0 )

    dialect = csv.Sniffer().sniff(sample) # Check for file format with
sniffer.
    csvfile = csv.reader( csvfile, dialect )
    if csv.Sniffer().has_header( sample ): #if there is a header
        colnames = csvfile.next() # label columns from first line
        datalist = list( csvfile ) # append data to a list
    else: #if there is NO header
        datalist = list( csvfile ) # append data to a list
        colnames = ['col_%i' % i for i in range(len(datalist[0]))] #
label columns as col_1, col_2, etc

    return datalist, colnames

TIA for any help.
