Category: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Clodoaldo Pinto Neto (cpn) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Reading with bz2.BZ2File() returns one garbage character Initial Comment: When comparing two files which should be equal the last line is different: The first file is a bzip2 compressed file and is read with bz2.BZ2File() The second file is the same file uncompressed and read with open() The first file named file.txt.bz2 is uncompressed with: $ bunzip2 -k file.txt.bz2 To compare I use this script: ############################### import bz2 f1 = bz2.BZ2File(r'file.txt.bz2', 'r') f2 = open(r'file.txt', 'r') lines = 0 while True: line1 = f1.readline() line2 = f2.readline() if line1 == '': break lines += 1 if line1 != line2: print 'line number:', lines print repr(line1) print repr(line2) f1.close() f2.close() ############################## Output: $ python bzp.py line number: 588317 '\x07' '' The offending attached file is 5.5 MB.
