Serach for word in text file in Python

Question

I have this text file:

MemTotal,5,2016-07-30 12:02:33,781

model name,3,2016-07-30 13:37:59,074

model,3,2016-07-30 15:39:59,075

i need to find the line with the model.

My code:

term = "model"

file = open('file.txt')

for line in file:

    line.strip().split('/n')

    if term in line:

        print line

file.close()

This is the output:

model name,3,2016-07-30 13:37:59,074

model,3,2016-07-30 15:39:59,075

i need only this line as output:

 model,3,2016-07-30 15:39:59,075

how can i do this?

Just replace the line:

if term in line:

with line :

if line.startswith('model,'):
