That change is probably a good idea, but not that rather than :

if line != "" :
   #Do stuff...

I believe the following is considered better python style:

if line :
   #Do stuff...

I have updated CVS to ignore blank lines, and to give a more helpful ValueError
when trying to parse invalid files.  See revision 1.2,
http://cvs.biopython.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/Bio/SeqIO/TabIO.py?cvsroot=biopython
