Right. Thanks for the correction.

right?
data = fh.read() fh.close() assert len(data)==2008 # you may want some error processing here fh = open(the_file, 'wb') fh.write(data) fh.close()
or
if os.path.getsize(the_file) > TOO_BIG: fh = open(the_file, 'rb+') fh.seek(-2008, 2) data = fh.read() fh.seek(0) # rewind fh.write(data) fh.truncate() fh.close()
