hello,
I've a program (not written in Python) that generates a few thousands
bytes per second,
these files are dumped in 2 buffers (files), at in interval time of 50 msec,
the files can be read by another program, to do further processing.
A program written in VB or delphi can handle the data in the 2 buffers
perfectly.
Sometimes Python is also able to process the data correctly,
but often it can't :-(
I keep one of the files open en test the size of the open datafile each
50 msec.
I have tried
os.stat ( ....) [ ST_SIZE]
os.path.getsize ( ... )
but they both have the same behaviour, sometimes it works, and the data
is collected each 50 .. 100 msec,
sometimes 1 .. 1.5 seconds is needed to detect a change in filesize.
I'm using python 2.4 on winXP.
Is there a solution for this problem ?
thanks,
Stef Mientki
