this code works
f = open("C:/coderoot/python3/level1/inputfile.txt", 'r')
for line in f:
     for line in f:
         #print(line.rstrip())
         print(line)

f.close()f = open("C:/coderoot/python3/level1/inputfile.txt", 'r')
for line in f:
     for line in f:
         #print(line.rstrip())
         print(line)

f.close()

the out put skips the first line of the inputfile and puts a blank line 
inbetween

inputfile is:
tom
jerry
make
windows
linux
