Incorrect. This is only the case in the *interactive* interpreter in
the standard implementation. For source code in general, quoting the
Python Reference Manual:
"A logical line that contains only spaces, tabs, formfeeds and
possibly a comment, is ignored (i.e., no NEWLINE token is generated)."
So such lines, whether completely empty or only apparently so (i.e.
dirty), are ignored, and can be safely cleaned-up.
