I want to do something like: #!/usr/bin/env python3
fh = open('/etc/motd') for line in fh.readlines(): print(fh.tell()) why doesn't this work as expected.. fh.readlines() should return a generator object and fh.tell() ought to start at 0 first. Instead i get the final count repeated for the number of lines. What i'm trying to do is lookahead: #!whatever fh = open(whatever) for line in fh.readlines(): x = fh.tell() temp = fh.readline() fh.seek(x) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
