i got syntax error when running this line:
data = for line in open(filename) if not line.startswith("#")
Should be:
data = [ line for line in open(filename) if not line.startswith("#") ]
Notice the extra line at the beginning and the fact that it is
surrounded by [] which makes it a *list comprehension*.
But that won't help if you can't put commment markers
at the front... But you might get away with:
data = [ line for line in open(filename) if '-1' in line ]
