I prefer not making it a one-liner:

data = map(int, f.readlines())
min_data = min(data, key=lambda n: n % 10)
print(b64encode(str(smallest_data), b'?-'))

Python's standard of having in-place methods return None also forces
this to an extent.  Whenever you want to tack on something like
.append(), that's the end of your chain and it's time to start a new
line anyway.  Of course, you could always define something like:

def appended(iterable, x):
    result = list(iterable)
    result.append(x)
    return result

and use that in your chain.
