How do I strip a new line?

[anderson1373]

It only catches the comparison to average for the first name and i need to strip the new line.
Can you help?

scores = []
names = []
infile = open("bowlingscores.txt", "r")
for i, line in enumerate(infile):
	if i % 2 == 1:
		scores.append(int(line))
	else:
		names.append(line)
average = float(sum(scores) / len(scores))
print (names)
print (scores)
outfile = open("bowlingaverages.txt", "w")
for s in zip(names, scores):
	if scores > average:
		scores = "above average"
	elif scores < average:
		scores = "below average"
	else:
		scores = "perfect"
outfile.write("%s" % names)
outfile.write("%s" % scores)

String method strip() strips leading and trailing whitespace such as newline characters.

>>> 
>>> line = "123456\n"
>>> line.strip()
'123456'
>>>

Where in my code would it go?
Also how do I make it go through my loop every time? It is only going through once.

Here is how i changed it:

scores = []
names = []
averagescore = []
infile = open("bowlingscores.txt", "r")
for i, line in enumerate(infile):
	if i % 2 == 1:
		scores.append(int(line))
	else:
		names.append(line)
average = float(sum(scores) / len(scores))
print(average)
print (names)
print (scores)
outfile = open("averages.txt", "w")
scores = str(scores)
for score in (scores):
	if score > average:
		averagescore.append("above average")
	elif score < average:
		averagescore.append("below average")
	else:
		averagescore.append("perfect")
for s in zip(names, averagescore):
	outfile.write(s)

It keeps giving me this error on the line that reads outfile.write(s ):
TypeError: argument 1 must be a string or read only character buffer, not tuple

It should be:

for tup in zip(names, averagescore):
    outfile.write(" ".join(tup))
