No it isn't.

Neither one of your examples is legal Python. Please post real
code.

No, it doesn't. Not if you've done something reasonable like
this:
f = open('testdata','r')
while True:
s = f.readline()
if not s: break
print repr(s)
or this:
f = open('testdata','r')
s = f.readline()
while s:
print repr(s)
s = f.readline()
Please post real, runnable code. You've done something wrong
and we've no way to guess what it was if you won't show us your
code.
