reduce.py with newline in the end

Hi,

I've got a problem with a view: my editors (gedit, nano) add a newline
to the end of the reduce.py file (with a builtin reduce function), which
lets couchdb crash.

Can you do anything to avoid it (and not switch my editors)?

Regards
Julian

Too bad it is not necessary anymore... it would have been a good reason to switch to vim and its noeol option ;)

IIRC jchris committed a patch that fixes this behavior (ignoring trailing whitespace) to trunk some time ago.

According to one reading of the POSIX standards, all text files should be terminated with a newline character. If this causes a crash, I would say that's a bug.
