i need to read the contents of a file (could be 100kb, could be 500mb,
could be 1gb)...but I want to allow the read to be canceled.
for example, say a user wants to savea file...as it's saving they want
to terminate it...thus stop the read.
I was doing this:
def keepReading():
# return whether reading should continue
return readOn
data = []
f = open('somefile.zip', 'rb')
while len(data) < sizeOfFile and keepReading():
data.append(f.read(1))
....however, this seems to work in python (not in jython, where I get
OutOfMemoryError). Any suggestions on how to approach this with
perhaps a better way?
thanks
