Eric Wolf <ebw...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'm experiencing the same thing. My script works perfectly on a 165MB file but fails after reading 900,000 bytes on a 22GB file.
My script uses a buffered bz2file.read and is agnostic about end-of-lines. Opening with "rb" does not help. It is specifically written to avoid reading too much into memory at once. I have tested this script on: Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863) (ESRI ArcGIS version) (WinXP 64-bit) Python 2.7.1.4 (r271:86832) (64-bit ActiveState version) (WinXP 64-bit) Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706) (Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit) Check here for some really big BZ2 files: http://planet.openstreetmap.org/full-experimental/ ---------- nosy: +Eric.Wolf Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20952/OSM_Extract.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10900> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
