Show us more of your surrounding code so we have some chance of figuring
out why this working code stops.  There's nothing wrong with this code,
the problem is somewhere else.

Suggestion:

    lineCount = 0
    for line in sysFile:
        lineCount +=1
        print str(lineCount) + " -- " + line

can be written:

    for lineCount, line in enumerate(sysFile):
        print "%i--%s" % (lineCount, line)
