We don't speak Fortran here (at least I don't).
Please show your Python code. What is 'inputfile'?
Also, in Python, the readline method is defined as:

>>> help(io.TextIOBase.readline)
Help on method_descriptor:

readline(...)
    Read until newline or EOF.

    Returns an empty string if EOF is hit immediately.

So there must be something in that line in your file that it considers an EOF.
Have you tried opening it in a regular text editor and inspecting what the characters
are on that particular line?
