does the
log_file.readlines()[-1]
actually read all the lines first?
i switched to system call with tail because originally i was using a
pure Python solution
inF = gzip.GzipFile(ff, 'rb');
s=inF.readlines()
inF.close()
last_line=s[-1]
and since the log file is 100 megabytes it takes a long time and hogs
massive memory.
