That is the simplest solution. If your file gets bigger and you don't want to read it all at once, you can use enumerate to iterate the lines and pick out the one you want:
f = open(...) for i, line in enumerate(f): if i==targetLine: print line # or whatever break f.close()
Of course, to do that, you must know the number of lines in the file beforehand. If you're running a UNIX system (Linux, OS X, *BSD...), that's easily done by calling the command "wc -l <filename>" (use os.popen to do that).
