Newbie question regarding .readline()

[jim roush]

I have the following snippet of code causing me problems
 
def process_free_category(cat_title, filename, start_anchor_tag):
    PK_INFILE = open(filename, 'r')
        
    PKFRESHOUT.write('<br><b>' + cat_title + '</b><br><br>\n')

    # Find beginning of section
    for line in PK_INFILE.readline():
        print line
        if string.find(line, start_anchor_tag) > -1:
            break
    print line


the problem is, line is only one character instead of an entire line.
I used those print statements to verify this.  It's as if I used
.read() instead.  If I use .readlines() instead, it reads multiple
lines like it should.  

What gives?
