To simply bypass the first line, do a readline() on the file object
before starting to process the file. To filter out particular lines
throughout the file, you can either do a check in the for loop and
continue if it is true, or create a generator which filters out
unwanted content.
untested:
fd = open(some_file)
fi = (x for x in fd if (x.search(':') < 0))
for line in fi:
pass
It gets a bit more complicated if you want to actually split on
sentences, not lines.
