Hi,

I am reading a file with readlines method of the filepointer object
returned by the open function. Along with reading the lines, I also
need to know which line number of the file is read in the loop
everytime.
I am sure, the line should have the property/attribute which will say
the line number of the file.

If there is none, do I have to end up using the counter in the loop?

fp = open("file", "r")
lineno = 0
for line in fp.readlines():
        print "line number: " + lineno + ": " + line.rstrip()
        lineno = lineno + 1

The standard Python way is using enumerate()

for i, line in enumerate(fp):
    print "line number: " + lineno + ": " + line.rstrip()

Oh I did not know enumerate can be used. Thanks Paul and Arnaud.
I will try this.
