What's a quick one-liner to remove empty lines from a python string?

Question

I have some code in a python string that contains extraneous empty lines. I would like to remove all empty lines from the string. What's the most pythonic way to do this?

Note: I'm not looking for a general code re-formatter, just a quick one or two-liner.

Thanks!

Answer 1

How about:

text = os.linesep.join([s for s in text.splitlines() if s]) 

where text is the string with the possible extraneous lines?

Answer 2

"\n".join([s for s in code.split("\n") if s]) 

Edit2:

text = "".join([s for s in code.splitlines(True) if s.strip("\r\n")]) 

I think that's my final version. It should work well even with code mixing line endings. I don't think that line with spaces should be considered empty, but if so then simple s.strip() will do instead.
