Well,
I was somewhat confused with all of the answers so I decided to go with
my/following method. Kent's method has 4 fewer lines of code than mine and
cleaner. Please correct me if I am fundamentally wrong.
f=open('file.txt',r)
for line in f.read().split():
if line == "3"
position = True
else:
position = False
if position == True
print line
position = False
f.close()
