Summary: windows python truncates files when reading them
Initial Comment:
when using python for windows, opening a file and
calling read() on the file object returns only some of
the file (about 1K). i am expecting read to return the
entire contents of the file (and this is what i get
when i run the same code on cygwin and linux).
to reproduce:
prepare a sufficiently large file myfile.xxx (say > 100K)
source = open('myfile.xxx', 'r')
dest = open('copy_myfile.xxx', 'w')
dest.write(source.read())
source.close()
dest.close()
myfile.xxx and copy_myfile.xxx should be identical, and
they are if you run this on most python distributions.
when running the version installed from the .msi
installer on python.org the copy is truncated (as part
of reading, i'm pretty sure).
