If your file is not too large, you can go as simple as this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
newuser = "hamster201"
 
fin = open("MyUserFile.txt", "r")
text = fin.read()
fin.close()
 
if newuser in text:
    print "this username already used"
newuser = "hamster201"

fin = open("MyUserFile.txt", "r")
text = fin.read()
fin.close()

if newuser in text:
    print "this username already used"

No one died when Clinton lied.
