[SciPy-user] Newbie: Reading a slice of a file

[Chiara Caronna]

I need to read just some rows of a file... do you know how to do it?
I found out that with pylab.load I can skip some rows from the top, but I 
don't know how to skip from the bottom... maybe there is an other function?
Thanks
Chiara
