I'm not familiar with ezt formats, however reading a text file is a

This sentence doesn't match the code that follow. It's really simpler
than that ``while`` loop.

f = open(r'pathToFile')
while True:
line = f.readline()
if not line: break
# do something with the line of text such as print it.

f.close()

f = open(r'pathToFile)
for line in f:
# do something with the line of text such as print it.
f.close()

Yes, the "while" is lame, I admit it. But sometimes you just gotta go
old school!
