That should, of course, have been:

while 1:                        # loop forever
    line = F.readline()         # get the next line
    if line == "": break        # null string indicates EOF
    ... process line ...

Sorry!

As far as an enhancement is concerned, this has been discussed often
enough to make it seem unlikely any changes will be made.
