Guilherme Polo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Hello,
(some comments) What about using gzip.open instead of GzipFile ? It is just a shorthand, but I prefer it (just my opinion). Also, remove those semicolons. At the second example you called close on the string object, I guess you intended to do file_obj.close() In the third example you used "file", please change that to "open". In this sample example, you don't need to use shutil. I suggest changing it to: import gzip f_in = open('/home/joe/file.txt', 'rb') f_out = gzip.open('/home/joe/file.txt.gz', 'wb'); f_out.writelines(f_in) file_obj_out.close() f_out.close() Finally, consider doing these changes against Doc/library/gzip.rst and sending the diff ---------- nosy: +gpolo __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2406> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
