Hi! Create a "index" (a file with 3,453,299,000 tuples : line_number + start_byte) ; this file has fix-length lines. slow, OK, but once.
Then, for every consult/read a specific line: - direct acces read on index - seek at the fisrt byte of the line desired @+ Michel Claveau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
