Join strings skips first line

My Code:

f=open(keywords_file,"r")
keywords=f.read().split("\n")[0:-1]
f.close()
os.remove(keywords_file)
up.enter_keywords(",".join(keywords))
up.quit()

My file looks like:

Keyword
Keyword2
Keyword3
keyword4

The problem I noticed:

enter_keywords join skips the first line so my end results:

keyword2,keyword3,keyword4

I need:

keyword,keyword2,keyword3,keyword4

Whats wrong with my code?

Try this:

 with open(keywords_file, 'r') as f:
     keywords = ",".join(line.strip() for line in f)

You are omitting it when you make a slice: 

    keywords=f.read().split("\n")[0:-1]

instead, you should just do the following:

    keywords = [word for word in f]
