Four Python methods to read file content line by line

The following are four methods for Python to read the file content line by line, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each method and the application scenarios. The following codes have passed the test in python3, and some codes running in python2 have been commented and can be modified slightly.
Method 1: readline function
#- - coding: UTF-8 - -
f = open("/pythontab/code.txt") # return a file object
line = f.readline() # call the readline() method of the file
while line :
#print line, # In Python 2, followed by ',' will ignore the newline
print(line, end = '') # Use line in Python 3
= f.readline()
f.close()
Advantages: saving Memory, no need to put the content of the file into the memory at one time
Cons: relatively slow
Method 2: Read multiple rows of data at a time.
The code is as follows:
#- - coding: UTF-8 - -
f = open("/pythontab/code.txt")
while 1:
lines = f. readlines(10000)
if not lines:
break
for line in lines:
print(line)
f. close()
reads multiple lines at one time, which can improve the reading speed, but the memory usage is slightly larger, and the number of lines read at a time can be adjusted according to the situation
Method 3: Direct for loop
After Python 2.2, we can directly use a for loop to read each row of data on a file object
code show as below:
#-- coding: UTF-8 --
for line in open("/pythontab/code.txt"):
#print line, #python2 用法
print(line)
Method 4: Use fileinput module
import fileinput
for line in fileinput.input("/pythontab/code.txt"):
print(line)
is simple to use, but slower
