你可以使用操作系统。路径模块如下所示:

import os
import subprocess
Number_lines = int( (subprocess.Popen( 'wc -l {0}'.format( Filename ), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout).readlines()[0].split()[0] )

，其中Filename是文件的绝对路径。

我修改了缓冲区的情况如下:

def CountLines(filename):
    f = open(filename)
    try:
        lines = 1
        buf_size = 1024 * 1024
        read_f = f.read # loop optimization
        buf = read_f(buf_size)

        # Empty file
        if not buf:
            return 0

        while buf:
            lines += buf.count('\n')
            buf = read_f(buf_size)

        return lines
    finally:
        f.close()

现在空文件和最后一行(不带\n)也被计算在内。

对我来说，这个变体是最快的:

#!/usr/bin/env python

def main():
    f = open('filename')                  
    lines = 0
    buf_size = 1024 * 1024
    read_f = f.read # loop optimization

    buf = read_f(buf_size)
    while buf:
        lines += buf.count('\n')
        buf = read_f(buf_size)

    print lines

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

原因:缓冲比逐行和逐字符串读取快。计数也非常快

这个呢

def file_len(fname):
  counts = itertools.count()
  with open(fname) as f: 
    for _ in f: counts.next()
  return counts.next()

简单的方法:

1)

>>> f = len(open("myfile.txt").readlines())
>>> f

430

>>> f = open("myfile.txt").read().count('\n')
>>> f
430
>>>

num_lines = len(list(open('myfile.txt')))

如果你的文件中的所有行都是相同的长度(并且只包含ASCII字符)*，你可以非常便宜地执行以下操作:

fileSize     = os.path.getsize( pathToFile )  # file size in bytes
bytesPerLine = someInteger                    # don't forget to account for the newline character
numLines     = fileSize // bytesPerLine

*如果使用像é这样的unicode字符，我怀疑需要更多的努力来确定一行中的字节数。
