title: Is there a way to read a file from where I left off in Python?
body: <p>I'm trying to read a file in Python, close it and then read it again from the point where I stopped reading it. </p>
  
  <p>Real problem: I'm trying to process a Tomcat log file which is updated every hour. So when I read it from Python end, I get duplicate (old) logs as well as the new ones. </p>
  
  <p>Edit: Is there an efficient way to read the new logs from the common file? </p>
