Nope - no more, should I say. The file object is now an iterable. file.readlines() try and read all the file and returns it as a list. It's ok for small files, but can lead to problem with huge ones... using the file as an iterator, you have a lazy read - just like you would with the older file.readline() idiom: line = f.readline() while line: do_something_with(line) line = f.readline() but with much less hassle : for line in f: do_something_with(line) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
