def count_text_file_lines(path):
    with open(path, 'rt') as file:
        line_count = sum(1 for _line in file)
    return line_count

这是我用的，看起来很干净:

import subprocess

def count_file_lines(file_path):
    """
    Counts the number of lines in a file using wc utility.
    :param file_path: path to file
    :return: int, no of lines
    """
    num = subprocess.check_output(['wc', '-l', file_path])
    num = num.split(' ')
    return int(num[0])

更新:这比使用纯python略快，但以内存使用为代价。子进程在执行您的命令时将派生一个与父进程具有相同内存占用的新进程。

您可以执行子进程并运行wc -l filename

import subprocess

def file_len(fname):
    p = subprocess.Popen(['wc', '-l', fname], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, 
                                              stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    result, err = p.communicate()
    if p.returncode != 0:
        raise IOError(err)
    return int(result.strip().split()[0])

这个呢

def file_len(fname):
  counts = itertools.count()
  with open(fname) as f: 
    for _ in f: counts.next()
  return counts.next()

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

简单的方法:

1)

>>> f = len(open("myfile.txt").readlines())
>>> f

430

>>> f = open("myfile.txt").read().count('\n')
>>> f
430
>>>

num_lines = len(list(open('myfile.txt')))
