# Module textlines version 1.2 # Released to the public domain 05-May-1999 # by Oliver Steele (steele@cs.brandeis.edu). Use textlines(file) instead of file.readlines() when it's not possible or desirable to read the entire file into memory at once. For example: for line in textlines(file): ... is computationally equivalent to for line in file.readlines(): ... but only reads one line at a time into memory.
