这是我找到的最佳解决方案，我在330 MB的文件上尝试了一下。

lineno = 500
line_length = 8
with open('catfour.txt', 'r') as file:
    file.seek(lineno * (line_length + 2))
    print(file.readline(), end='')

其中line_length是单行中的字符数。例如，“abcd”的行长为4。

我添加了2个行长来跳过'\n'字符并移动到下一个字符。

我意识到这个问题在很久以前就已经回答过了，但是这里有一种并行的方法，而不会杀死您的内存开销(如果您试图将每一行放入池中，就会出现这种情况)。显然，将readJSON_line2函数替换为一些合理的函数——这只是为了说明这一点!

加速将取决于文件大小和你对每一行所做的事情-但最坏的情况是，对于一个小文件，只是用JSON阅读器读取它，我看到下面设置的性能与ST相似。

希望对大家有用:

def readJSON_line2(linesIn):
  #Function for reading a chunk of json lines
   '''
   Note, this function is nonsensical. A user would never use the approach suggested 
   for reading in a JSON file, 
   its role is to evaluate the MT approach for full line by line processing to both 
   increase speed and reduce memory overhead
   '''
   import json

   linesRtn = []
   for lineIn in linesIn:

       if lineIn.strip() != 0:
           lineRtn = json.loads(lineIn)
       else:
           lineRtn = ""
        
       linesRtn.append(lineRtn)

   return linesRtn

如果你在文件中没有换行符，你可以这样做:

with open('large_text.txt') as f:
  while True:
    c = f.read(1024)
    if not c:
      break
    print(c,end='')

blaze项目在过去6年里取得了长足的进展。它有一个简单的API，涵盖了pandas功能的一个有用子集。

dask。Dataframe内部负责分块，支持许多可并行操作，并允许您轻松地将切片导出回pandas，以便在内存中操作。

import dask.dataframe as dd

df = dd.read_csv('filename.csv')
df.head(10)  # return first 10 rows
df.tail(10)  # return last 10 rows

# iterate rows
for idx, row in df.iterrows():
    ...

# group by my_field and return mean
df.groupby(df.my_field).value.mean().compute()

# slice by column
df[df.my_field=='XYZ'].compute()

最好使用迭代器。 相关:fileinput -迭代多个输入流中的行。

从文档中可以看出:

import fileinput
for line in fileinput.input("filename", encoding="utf-8"):
    process(line)

这将避免将整个文件一次复制到内存中。

老派方法:

fh = open(file_name, 'rt')
line = fh.readline()
while line:
    # do stuff with line
    line = fh.readline()
fh.close()
