what about a generator expression ? The (not so)new hype:
with open(prfile,mode="rt",encoding='utf-8') as pfile:
for values in (l.strip().split("\t") for (i, l) in enumerate(pfile)
if i >=5):
print values
slightly dense, could be better with a lambda function
tovalues = lambda l: l.strip().split("\t")
with open(prfile,mode="rt",encoding='utf-8') as pfile:
for values in (tovalues(l) for (i, l) in enumerate(pfile) if i >=5):
print values
This should even work quite efficiently on big files, because I don't
thing no more than one line is in memory at a given time.
