newline at end of file Error

There doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of newlines at the end of the file. flake8 complains no matter how many times I hit delete at the end of the last line.

(Firefox 34.0)

starter.py 
def first_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


def second_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


class MyClass:
    args = [1, 2, 3]

    def class_func(self):
        return self.args

The error is "no newline at end of file", right? It wants you to add a blank line at the end of the file.
