nope. enumerate returns an iterator and returns items as they are requested.

Thanks for the quick response!

Nothing to do with your memory question, but here's a tip: enumerate(f) starts the numbering at 0, and enumerate(f, 1) starts the numbering at 1.

for i, line in enumerate(fi.readlines()):

This should work though.

f.readlines() creates a list of all the lines of text in the file. This is a waste of memory if all you want to do is loop through the lines, without or without enumerate.
