When I compress a file with bzip2 from command line and read it with
*uncomp_data = bz2.BZ2File("fname").read()* , it reads the whole file into
uncomp_data.However when I compress the file with pbzip2 from command line and read it in a similar way* it just reads the block size of data* used for compression. So if I compress with: *pbzip2 temp.temp -b3 *the read returns 300000 bytes of data*. *I tried with various block sizes to confirm. Has it got something to do with the block separator fields ?
