Fantastic!  :-D

I've taken the liberty of making it compatible with both Python 2 and 3 (tested in 2.7.12 and 3.5.1), and reworking to fit better with PEP-8.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# darn_antipodeans.py
from sys import argv
try:
    with open(argv[1], 'r') as input_file:
        for line in reversed(input_file.readlines()):
            print(line[:-1])
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("File not found. Please re-enter filename...")

In anticipation of the growing need for antipodeans to write lines of text from bottom to top, I have provided the following python3 program to convert existing text files to this format...

cheers,
Ian.
