类似的:

lines = 0
with open(path) as f:
    for line in f:
        lines += 1

对我来说，这个变体是最快的:

#!/usr/bin/env python

def main():
    f = open('filename')                  
    lines = 0
    buf_size = 1024 * 1024
    read_f = f.read # loop optimization

    buf = read_f(buf_size)
    while buf:
        lines += buf.count('\n')
        buf = read_f(buf_size)

    print lines

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

原因:缓冲比逐行和逐字符串读取快。计数也非常快

为了完成上述方法，我尝试了fileinput模块的一个变体:

import fileinput as fi   
def filecount(fname):
        for line in fi.input(fname):
            pass
        return fi.lineno()

并将一个60mil行文件传递给上述所有方法:

mapcount : 6.1331050396
simplecount : 4.588793993
opcount : 4.42918205261
filecount : 43.2780818939
bufcount : 0.170812129974

这让我有点惊讶，fileinput是如此糟糕，比所有其他方法都要糟糕得多…

为什么下面的方法行不通呢?

import sys

# input comes from STDIN
file = sys.stdin
data = file.readlines()

# get total number of lines in file
lines = len(data)

print lines

在这种情况下，len函数使用输入行作为确定长度的方法。

这个怎么样?

import fileinput
import sys

counter=0
for line in fileinput.input([sys.argv[1]]):
    counter+=1

fileinput.close()
print counter

类似的:

lines = 0
with open(path) as f:
    for line in f:
        lines += 1
