reading files in small chunks?

Hi,I wanted to know why it is more efficient to read a file in smaller chunks ( using file() or open() )? If this is not done, will this lead to errors in the data read or just results in slower performance? Thank You. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Calculating md5 checksums.

I tried the script and had to get a hexdigest to get the value providedMy test:SimplyMEPIS-3.3.1-1.iso checksum: 41a19060d3bb37bd596708ba77964491i got: 41a19060d3bb37bd596708ba77964491Do people normally provide md5 checksum in a hexadecimal string?Besides that, is the script reliable?

Calculating md5 checksums.

Hi,How do you calculate the md5 checksum of a file?so far  i got this,import md5obj = md5.new()file = open( 'filename',  'rb') data = "">obj.update(data)checksum = md5.digest ()Is this correct? Is there anything else i should do before comparing the checksum with the one provided for the file?Thank

minimize a program into an icon on the taskbar.

Hi, I would know how to minimize a program (wxpython app) into an icon on the taskbar on windows (the one at the side near the clock, i can't remember what is it called.) Is it easy to be done? Is there a way to do the same thing on Linux? Thank You. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/
