i modified the code to be:

else:
if int(eyvt) == -1:

print "Lane %s failed." % lane
if not failed:

there is traceback error:

if int(eyvt) == -1:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'EyVt'
pls help to advise. don't understand int() with base 10 mean?
thanks

The int() function converts a string to an integer, using some base. By
default it uses base 10 (decimal), so it'll do what you'd expect to a
string like "42" (which would return 42).
Apparently you don't have a valid string for an integer there. For
example, there might be a letter mixed in with the digits.
Your code doesn't make sense anyway, since at that line, eyvt might not
even have a value. And it certainly won't have a value from the current
line. You're in an 'else' clause, and only the if clause initializes
that value. that test for -1 needs to be inside the same if-clause as
the "port, channel, ..." line.
I suspect the simplest way to do what you want is to have two loops.
Loop inside the first one till you see a line that begins with "Port",
then break out of that loop.
The second one will then only see the subsequent data, and at that
point, all lines with four elements will have four numbers.
