I see that Dieter responded to your other questions, so I'll just answer
this one.  If you have an open file-like object named File, in Python you
could say:

line =File.readline()
while line:
    #do something with the line
    line=File.readline()

Or you could read the file into a list all at once:

lines=File.readlines()
for line in lines:
    # do something with the line

Remember, line will include any trailing newline character.

Cheers,
