that means you have a blank line it's reading, the result of splitting
an empty line is an empty list, which you can't index since it has no
members.

you're going to need to do a little input validation, always a good idea
anyway.  that is inside this loop:

      for line in f.readlines():
          atm_chg.append(float( line.split()[-1] ))

check there's something usable in line before you split-and-use it.
