你可以用已经有人提到过的语法很简单地做到这一点，但这是迄今为止最简单的方法:

inputFile = open("lineNumbers.txt", "r")
lines = inputFile.readlines()
print (lines[0])
print (lines[2])

@OP，你可以使用枚举

for n,line in enumerate(open("file")):
    if n+1 in [26,30]: # or n in [25,29] 
       print line.rstrip()

这个怎么样:

>>> with open('a', 'r') as fin: lines = fin.readlines()
>>> for i, line in enumerate(lines):
      if i > 30: break
      if i == 26: dox()
      if i == 30: doy()

这是我的2美分，不管它是否值得;)

def indexLines(filename, lines=[2,4,6,8,10,12,3,5,7,1]):
    fp   = open(filename, "r")
    src  = fp.readlines()
    data = [(index, line) for index, line in enumerate(src) if index in lines]
    fp.close()
    return data


# Usage below
filename = "C:\\Your\\Path\\And\\Filename.txt"
for line in indexLines(filename): # using default list, specify your own list of lines otherwise
    print "Line: %s\nData: %s\n" % (line[0], line[1])

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()

读取文件非常快。读取一个100MB的文件需要不到0.1秒(请参阅我的文章用Python读写文件)。因此，你应该完整地阅读它，然后处理单行。

大多数回答这里做的不是错，而是风格不好。打开文件应该总是用with，因为它可以确保文件再次关闭。

所以你应该这样做:

with open("path/to/file.txt") as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
print(lines[26])  # or whatever you want to do with this line
print(lines[30])  # or whatever you want to do with this line

巨大的文件

如果你有一个巨大的文件，内存消耗是一个问题，你可以逐行处理它:

with open("path/to/file.txt") as f:
    for i, line in enumerate(f):
        pass  # process line i
