Seems to me something like this came up here
not long ago. It turns out that
for line in file:
doesn't do the same thing as Perl's
while ($line = <file>)
If you use file.readline() instead (in a loop,
of course, I think you'll get the data one line
at a time, but "in file" apparently reads the
whole file first. That's what I vaguely remember,
I don't use it myself.
