try this perhaps? from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6475328/read-large-text-files-in-JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-line-by-line-without-loading-it-in-to-memory import fileinput for line in fileinput.input("filename"): process(line) OR with open("log.txt") as fileobject: for line in fileobject: do_something_with(line)
