Python 3:

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = [next(myfile) for x in range(N)]
print(head)

Python 2:

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = [next(myfile) for x in xrange(N)]
print head

下面是另一种方法(Python 2和3都是):

from itertools import islice

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = list(islice(myfile, N))
print(head)

我所做的就是用熊猫形来称呼N行。我认为性能不是最好的，但是举个例子，如果N=1000:

import pandas as pd
yourfile = pd.read_csv('path/to/your/file.csv',nrows=1000)

N = 10
with open("file.txt", "a") as file:  # the a opens it in append mode
    for i in range(N):
        line = next(file).strip()
        print(line)

这适用于Python 2和3:

from itertools import islice

with open('/tmp/filename.txt') as inf:
    for line in islice(inf, N, N+M):
        print(line)

Python 3:

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = [next(myfile) for x in range(N)]
print(head)

Python 2:

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = [next(myfile) for x in xrange(N)]
print head

下面是另一种方法(Python 2和3都是):

from itertools import islice

with open("datafile") as myfile:
    head = list(islice(myfile, N))
print(head)

没有特定的方法来读取文件对象暴露的行数。

我想最简单的方法是:

lines =[]
with open(file_name) as f:
    lines.extend(f.readline() for i in xrange(N))
