i have the following code...which works fine in UNIX but then i move it over to WINDOWS XP and check the sum on the same file that i tested on unix and i get different results.
def checksum(fileobj): filedata = array.array('B', fileobj.read()) totbytes = len(filedata) result = 0 def rotate_right(c): if c&1: return (c>>1)|0x8000 else: return c>>1 for ch in filedata: result = (rotate_right(result)+ch) & 0xFFFF return result Unix File = 8683 Win32 = 23662 Please let me know why its acting different in WIN32, also it only does this on SOME files...out of 50 i tested only 5 it failed on. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
