while this is functionallty correct I prefer :

f=open('text.txt', 'r')
line = f.readline()
while line:
    print line
    line = f.readline()

print 'ready'


which is actually a few cycles quicker however
1. the print will append and extra carriage return on the end putting blank
lines in
2. the data will be lost to the porogram
3. repeated disk reads though buffered will slow your inner loop
4. it looks ugly

i'd go for this :

f = open('text.txt', 'r')
lines = f.readlines()

for line in lines:
    print line[:-1]

print 'ready'
