file print extra spaces

[monkeys paw]

When i open a file in python, and then print the
contents line by line, the printout has an extra blank
line between each printed line (shown below):

 >>> f=open('authors.py')
 >>> i=0
 >>> for line in f:
	print(line)
	i=i+1
	if i > 14:
		break

	
author_list = {

                   '829337' : {

                                 'author_name' : 'Carter, John',

                                 'count' : 49,

                                 'c2' : '0.102040816326531',

How can i print the file out without having an extra newline between
printed lines?

Thanks for the help all.
