I want to read text line-by-line from a text file, but want to ignore

of doing it.
Why don't you read and discard the first line before processing the
rest of the file?
file = open(filename, 'r')
file.readline()
for line in file: print line,
I believe that file.readline() will work better than file.next() for
most purposes since the latter will raise StopIteration on an empty file
whereas file.readline() merely returns ''.
