Actually, this is not entirely correct, now that I read it.

string.splitlines() is a slightly special case in that it doesn't
include what is after the last newline character.  If you used
string.split('\n') you'd get an element for what came after the last
newline character.

Ex:
>>> foo = 'a\nb\n'
>>> foo.splitlines()
['a', 'b']
>>> foo.split('\n')
['a', 'b', '']
>>> 

FWIW,
