Such verbosity! (I excuse mine on the grounds that it was my first
attempt at a Python program.)
all_lines = file(argv[1]).readlines()
And to answer the question in the subject line:
last_line = file(argv[1]).readlines()[-1]
Both of which assume "from sys import argv".
Now I have to get serious and forget those bad habits.
