def getline(filename, lineno):
if lineno >= 1:
for i, line in enumerate(open(filename)):
if i == lineno - 1:
return line
return ''
Untested (I don't have a build quite recent enough).
This is for Challenge 2. The lineno-1 makes it likely slower than the
others. If there was an optional argument to enumerate specifying
'startat=1', then I might catch up.
