hi I have a file which is very large eg over 200Mb , and i am going to use python to code a "tail" command to get the last few lines of the file. What is a good algorithm for this type of task in python for very big files? Initially, i thought of reading everything into an array from the file and just get the last few elements (lines) but since it's a very big file, don't think is efficient. thanks
