# Mixing readline and "for line in fh" is AFAIK not recommended
# because of internal buffering issues.  More reliable:

        flines = iter(open(root+'/'+file))
        for i in range(4):
           flines.next() # skip 4 lines of headers
        for line in flines:
           sys.stdout.write(line)

# Or better yet (doesn't assume 4 lines):

        flines = iter(open(root+'/'+file))
        for line if flines:  # skip headers
           if line.strip() == "":
               break
        for line in flines:
           sys.stdout.write(line)
