The code above has only been tested with Python Version <3.0. I've not been switched to >3.0 yet, so I am not familiar with it and cannot give you a good answer on the fly. Maybe you just try the python 2 -> 3 converter and inspect the result.

I changed the line

line.startswith(self.commentstring):

line.startswith(self.commentstring) or not line.strip():

so now it can also skip blank lines.
