With "row with nothing in it", you mean "row containing the empty string"?

I do not know "Sypder" (nor "Anaconda"). However, your observation does not
indicate a Python problem. For a Python problem, the "run(F5)" should
misbehave as well.

Maybe, the question will get better answers on an "Anaconda" mailing list?
