Problem Description

An empty line is added to the end of the template when opening a new file (Ctrl-N).

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Edit template for new files.
2. Make a new file (Ctrl-N)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

My template ends with the following lines:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pass

When I open a new file, I get the following:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pass

Please note that there is an additional empty line at the end!

@sphh thanks for the report. Seems like a minor nuisance but indeed something not desired.

Since most style guides expect an empty line at the end, your template could omit this empty line in the meantime.

We will address this in a future release.

Cheers

Yes, it is a nuisance and I hope easy to fix.

And yes, I already considered removing the final empty line in the template as a temporary workaround …

Thanks @juanis2112 (and @goanpeca and @ccordoba12) for taking care of this and solving it that quickly!!

I applied the patch in my installation and can confirm that it works as expected.

Glad to hear it works as expected @sphh 😄 !
