Not so much to enjoy in that code.
You dont read file line by line as @vimalya mention.
With read() you read all file into memory.
del we almost never need to use in python.

Example.
data.txt-->

header
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

---

with open('data.txt') as f:
    line = f.next()
    for line in f:
        #print line
        #You can procces data like this 
        print [int(item) for item in line.split()]

"""Output-->
[1, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 6]
[7, 8, 9]
"""

Next time vimalya try to post some code,not just a task to solve.
