I have a text file and I need to read from the seconds line to to 15th line including. I've tried some methods but no method worked for me... I'd be happy if anyone could help me ... thanks a lot!

Use itertools.islice:

from itertools import islice
with open('filename') as fin:
    for line in islice(fin, 1, 16):
        print line
