Hi there, I'm using a python script in conjunction with a JPype, to run java classes. So, here's the code:
from jpype import * import os import random import math import sys input = open('foo.img','rb').read().decode('ISO-8859-1') square = java.encoding(input) output = java.decoding() fd = open('foo_decode.img','wb') fd.write(output.encode('ISO-8859-1')) fd.close() sys.exit(0) First of all, java.encoding and java.decoding are two methods that respectively take a java string as an argument and return a java String. JPype is the bridge between Java and Python, and converts automatically a str or unicode pythonstring into a Java String. So, input and output are two unicode strings. I were forced to use decode() and encode() methods by python, otherwise it refuses to read foo.img file. Here's the strange behaviour: when I write the output in the 'foo_decode.img', I don't reassemble the original file; I already tested the java encoding/decoding libraries with the same input file, and what the decoding process returns is the original file. I suspect that the discrepancy is due to encoding/decoding of ISO-8859-1: is that required? What do you think about? Thank you -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
