Reading specific lines only

Question

I\'m using a for loop to read a file, but I only want to read specific lines, say line #26 and #30. Is there any built-in feature to achieve this?

Thanks

How about this:

>>> with open('a', 'r') as fin: lines = fin.readlines()
>>> for i, line in enumerate(lines):
      if i > 30: break
      if i == 26: dox()
      if i == 30: doy()
