as Bob has claimed in private mail, he didn't use raw_input. With further
investigations I have found out that "lines captured with raw_input"
doesn't have a newline. So to say, the part after the colon is rather
silly ;-) Perhaps I should have run my testcode myself.

OTOH line read in with the readline-method are likly to have a newline
(the last line in a file might be without newline). The reported problem
comparing lines with strings might be due to this.
