Great, 2min 34 secs with the open method =)
but why?
ip, sep, rest = line.partition(' ')
match_counter[ip] += 1
instead of
match_counter[line.strip()[0]] += 1
strip really takes more time than partition?
I'm having the same results with both of them right now.
I think you meant split(), not strip().
split() might split the string into many parts, but you want only the
first part (at most 1 split), so the extra splits are unnecessary and
waste time. split(None, 1) and partition(' ') do at most 1 split, so
they don't do unnecessary work.
