Ok here is what I have now;
#!/usr/bin/python

import textwrap

def get_use():
     fname = open('/tmp/comprookie2000/emerge_info.txt')
     for line in fname:
         if 'USE' in line:
             output = line.split('"')[1]
             USE = textwrap.fill(output, 80)
             break
         else:
             USE = ''
     fname.close()

get_use()

Here is the whole program so far, what it does is it logs into a druple 
web site and posts. I would like to make it better, as you can see I do 
the same thing over and over. Also I don't think this is a python 
problem but I can only post one line or I get HTTP/1.1 417 Expectation 
Failed. I thought the problem was because it was one long string, but 
that is solved, may be it is looking for return/Enter to be pressed, not 
sure.
