import subprocess

p = subprocess.Popen(["tail", "-n 3", "passlist"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

output, err = p.communicate()

print  output

这个方法对我很有效

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)

这对我很有效

f = open("history_export.csv", "r")
line= 5
for x in range(line):
    a = f.readline()
    print(a)

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))

使用list(file_data)将CSV文件对象转换为列表

import csv;
with open('your_csv_file.csv') as file_obj:
    file_data = csv.reader(file_obj);
    file_list = list(file_data)
    for row in file_list[:4]:
        print(row)

fname = input("Enter file name: ")
num_lines = 0

with open(fname, 'r') as f: #lines count
    for line in f:
        num_lines += 1

num_lines_input = int (input("Enter line numbers: "))

if num_lines_input <= num_lines:
    f = open(fname, "r")
    for x in range(num_lines_input):
        a = f.readline()
        print(a)

else:
    f = open(fname, "r")
    for x in range(num_lines_input):
        a = f.readline()
        print(a)
        print("Don't have", num_lines_input, " lines print as much as you can")


print("Total lines in the text",num_lines)
