Python readline positioning my print underneath instead of next to

so i'd like to get the text saying Yuppie or Noup to the right side of the readline print and I can't quite figure out slicing and spacing yet. This task was about removing all special characters from a pre-existing .txt file, anyway heres the code:

import string
bringthe = open("ape.txt","r")
readthe = bringthe.readline()

invalid_char = set(string.punctuation)
while readthe:
    readthe = readthe[:-1]
    
    readthe = bringthe.readline()
    if any(poop in invalid_char for poop in readthe):
        print(readthe,'yuppie')
    else:
        print(readthe,'nouppie')

And this is what the outcome looks like, all the answers in the wrong position:

Solution

  • The readline() function is keeping the newline at the end, you can remove it with rstrip():

    readthe = bringthe.readline().rstrip()
