I think you'd find it much easier to move your frame of reference one line forward and think in terms of remembering the previous line, e.g.: for n,curr in enumerate(open("file")): if n>1: print n,curr print m,prev m,prev = n,curr Of course, if the file isn't so big, then you could use readlines as you mention.
