Printing lines of file without including newline in Python 2.7

I am trying to print the contents of a file. I have a file maze.txt with the following contents:

7 7
1 1 R N E
1 2 B N W
1 3 B N N

And I am printing it using the following code:

with open(os.path.join('maze.txt')) as f:
    for line in f:
        print line
    f.close()

However, my output has extra empty lines in between:

7 7

1 1 R N E

1 2 B N W

1 3 B N N

I've tried changing my print line to print line[0:-1], which works except it will cut off the last character in the final line because there's not a newline to get rid of after it. Is there an easy way to avoid this?

Just as the previous answer: when the print function doesn't end with a ',', then it adds a 'newline'.

Also, on your code, when opening a file with the 'with' code, you don't need to close the file: it's closed automatically when exiting the 'with' chunk of code.

Put a comma at the end of the print statement:

print line,
