I can't seem to concatenate. I got binary files here:
yvaine:disk rilindo$ ls -lah total 61440 drwxr-xr-x 4 rilindo staff 136B Apr 20 19:47 . drwxr-xr-x 10 rilindo staff 340B Apr 20 19:45 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 rilindo staff 20M Apr 20 20:00 disk1 -rw-r--r-- 1 rilindo staff 10M Apr 20 19:47 disk2 Based on the following code, I should be able to cat disk2 over to disk 1, resulting in a 30 Meg file: >>> import shutil >>> import os >>> disk1="/Users/rilindo/tmp/disk/disk1" >>> disk2="/Users/rilindo/tmp/disk/disk2" >>> destination = open(disk1,'wb') >>> shutil.copyfileobj(open(disk2,'rb'),destination) >>> destination.close() However, the result is that the destination gets overwritten: yvaine:disk rilindo$ ls -lah total 40960 drwxr-xr-x 4 rilindo staff 136B Apr 20 19:47 . drwxr-xr-x 10 rilindo staff 340B Apr 20 19:45 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 rilindo staff 10M Apr 20 20:02 disk1 -rw-r--r-- 1 rilindo staff 10M Apr 20 19:47 disk2 Is this right way to concatenate a file or is there a better way? - Rilindo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
