Welcome to Python.
If you just want to create files with random junk from the user input
then maybe something along these lines would help:
import sys, random
def random_junk(number_of_characters):
tmp = []
while number_of_characters:
tmp.append(random.randint(0, 127))
number_of_characters -= 1
return ''.join(map(str,tmp))
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
sys.exit('Usage:python %s <space seperated
filesizes>'%sys.argv[0])
for each_argv in sys.argv[1:]:
output_file = open(each_argv,'wb').write(random_junk(each_argv))
