New submission from Robert Rohde <ro...@robertrohde.com>: I attempted to use GZipFile to process a 1.93 GB file that expands to 18.8 GB.
This consistently produces the same corrupted output file that has approximately, but not exactly, the right output file size. I bypassed GZipFile by calling the 7-Zip executable to open the compressed file. This works correctly and consistently. I haven't tried to figure out how GZipFile works, but I assume that this failure is probably related to the very large size of the files I am working with. I've used GZipFile before on much smaller files with no apparent problems. I have no idea what precisely goes wrong, or how to fix it, but I felt it was important to note that GZipFile isn't working for at least some very large files. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 118091 nosy: Robert.Rohde priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: GZipFile failure on large files type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10040> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
