python取文本中间_Python读取两个字符串之间的特定文本行

我无法让python读取特定的行。我正在做的事情是这样的：lines of data not needed

lines of data not needed

lines of data not needed

--------------------------------------

***** REPORT 1 *****

--------------------------------------

[key] lines of interest are here

[key] lines of interest are here

[key] lines of interest are here

[key] lines of interest are here

[key] lines of interest are here #This can also be the EOF

--------------------------------------

***** REPORT 2 *****

--------------------------------------

lines of data not needed

lines of data not needed

lines of data not needed #Or this will be the EOF

我所做的尝试是这样的：flist = open("filename.txt").readlines()

for line in flist:

if line.startswith("\t**** Report 1"):

break

for line in flist:

if line.startswith("\t**** Report 2"):

break

if line.startswith("[key]"):

#do stuff with data

但是，当文件在没有结束分隔符的情况下结束时，我有一个问题。。。例如当报表2不显示时。什么是更好的方法？
