我认为这行得通

 open_file1 = open("E:\\test.txt",'r')
 read_it1 = open_file1.read()
 myline1 = []
 for line1 in read_it1.splitlines():
 myline1.append(line1)
 print myline1[0]

为了完整起见，这里还有一个选项。

让我们从python文档中的定义开始:

通常包含序列的一部分的对象。slice使用下标符号[]创建，当给出几个数字时，数字之间使用冒号，例如variable_name[1:3:5]。括号(下标)表示法在内部使用切片对象(或在旧版本中使用__getslice__()和__setslice__())。

虽然slice表示法一般不直接适用于迭代器，但itertools包包含一个替换函数:

from itertools import islice

# print the 100th line
with open('the_file') as lines:
    for line in islice(lines, 99, 100):
        print line

# print each third line until 100
with open('the_file') as lines:
    for line in islice(lines, 0, 100, 3):
        print line

该函数的另一个优点是，它直到结束才读取迭代器。所以你可以做更复杂的事情:

with open('the_file') as lines:
    # print the first 100 lines
    for line in islice(lines, 100):
        print line

    # then skip the next 5
    for line in islice(lines, 5):
        pass

    # print the rest
    for line in lines:
        print line

为了回答最初的问题:

# how to read lines #26 and #30
In [365]: list(islice(xrange(1,100), 25, 30, 4))
Out[365]: [26, 30]

f = open(filename, 'r')
totalLines = len(f.readlines())
f.close()
f = open(filename, 'r')

lineno = 1
while lineno < totalLines:
    line = f.readline()

    if lineno == 26:
        doLine26Commmand(line)

    elif lineno == 30:
        doLine30Commmand(line)

    lineno += 1
f.close()

如果你想读取特定的行，比如从某个阈值行开始的行，那么你可以使用下面的代码， File = open("files.txt"，"r") Lines = file.readlines() ##转换为行列表 data = lines[11:] ## raed特定的行

如果你想看第7行

line = open("file.txt", "r").readlines()[7]

def getitems(iterable, items):
  items = list(items) # get a list from any iterable and make our own copy
                      # since we modify it
  if items:
    items.sort()
    for n, v in enumerate(iterable):
      if n == items[0]:
        yield v
        items.pop(0)
        if not items:
          break

print list(getitems(open("/usr/share/dict/words"), [25, 29]))
# ['Abelson\n', 'Abernathy\n']
# note that index 25 is the 26th item
