使用python从文件中读取行

我有一个近100000行的文件。我想做一个清理过程(小写,删除停用词等)但是需要时间。

10000的示例脚本需要15分钟。对于所有文件,我预计需要150分钟。但是需要5个小时。

在开始时文件用于阅读:

fileinput = open('tweets.txt', 'r')

lines = fileinput.read().lower() #for lower case, however it load all file

for line in fileinput:
    lines = line.lower() 

问题:我是否可以使用一种方法来阅读清理过程中的前10000行,然后阅读下一行的博客等?

我强烈建议逐行操作,而不是一次性读取整个文件(换句话说,不要使用.read())。

with open('tweets.txt', 'r') as fileinput:
    for line in fileinput:
        line = line.lower()
        # ... do something with line ...
        # (for example, write the line to a new file, or print it)

will automatically take advantage of Python's built-in buffering capabilities

尝试一次处理文件一行

lowered = []    

with open('tweets.txt', 'r') as handle:
    for line in handle:
        # keep accumulating the results ...
        lowered.append(line.lower())
        # or just dump the to stdout right away
        print(line)

for line in lowered:
    # print or write to file or whatever you require

这样可以减少内存开销,如果大文件可能会导致交换并导致性能下降。

以下是包含大约1M行的文件的一些基准:

# (1) real 0.223    user 0.195  sys 0.026   pcpu 98.71
with open('medium.txt') as handle:
  for line in handle:
      pass

# (2) real 0.295    user 0.262  sys 0.025   pcpu 97.21
with open('medium.txt') as handle:
    for i, line in enumerate(handle):
        pass
    print(i) # 1031124

# (3) real 21.561 user 5.072  sys 3.530   pcpu 39.89
with open('medium.txt') as handle:
    for i, line in enumerate(handle):
        print(line.lower())

# (4) real 1.702  user 1.605  sys 0.089   pcpu 99.50
lowered = []
with open('medium.txt') as handle:
    for i, line in enumerate(handle):
        lowered.append(line.lower())

# (5) real 2.307  user 1.983  sys 0.159   pcpu 92.89
lowered = []
with open('medium.txt', 'r') as handle:
    for i, line in enumerate(handle):
        lowered.append(line.lower())

with open('lowered.txt', 'w') as handle:
    for line in lowered:
        handle.write(line)

您还可以同时对两个文件进行迭代:

# (6) real 1.944  user 1.666  sys 0.115   pcpu 91.59
with open('medium.txt', 'r') as src, open('lowered.txt', 'w') as sink:
    for i, line in enumerate(src):
        sink.write(line.lower())

结果如表:

# (1) noop                   0.223
# (2) w/ enumerate           0.295
# (4) list buffer            1.702
# (6) on-the-fly             1.944
# (5) r -> list buffer -> w  2.307
# (3) stdout print          21.561

按如下方式更改脚本:

with open('tweets.txt', 'r') as fileinput:
  for line in fileinput:
    """do what you need to do with each line"""
    line = line.lower()

因此,基本上,不要使用read()将整个文件读入内存,只需遍历已打开文件的行。当你将一个巨大的文件读入内存时,你的进程可能会发展到一个系统需要更换它的部分,这将使它变得非常慢。
