I have some awk script to achieve this. I can assure you it's not homework.
LOL ... I have never attended some python course.
sometimes it's hard for you to image how hard I persuade myself to use/think
in python way, forget what is-already-relatively-easy-for-me-to-use bash
script.

the xpm file an read, I just text

f=open('1.xpm','r')
for line in f.readlines():
    print line
f.close()

I am google-ing how to get the line index, so will use those after 24.
