It suggests you have an empty line at the end of your file.
If you don;t like these simply add a check that ligand
is not "" before creating the filename.

    if ligand:
       for suf in range(1, 11):
           filename = f"{ligand[:-1]}.{suf}.log"

Blank lines in the input will then be ignored.
