What is particularly important to note here is that Sander is iterating
over the file 'fname' only once. When you loop thru the lines of a file
with this form it is consumed, and you get nothing back for subsequent
attempts, unless you re-open the file, or explicitly move back to the
beginning, ie. fname.seek(0).
