How can i read from a text file on my PC

I want to read numbers from a .txt file on my PC.

I made a game using pygame and i want to display the numbers of lives left onto an LCD monitor. I am able to output the number of lives onto a txt file using python but I don't know how to read from that same txt file using Arduino.

Use the Python program to send the data to the Arduino.

This Simple Python - Arduino demo may help.
