I have a huge log file which contains 3,453,299,000 lines with different lengths. It is not possible to calculate the absolute position of the beginning of the one billionth line. Are there efficient way to seek to the beginning of that line in python?
This program:
for i in range(1000000000):
f.readline()
is absolutely every slow....
Thank you so much for help.
