Newbie question:
I'm trying to turn a large XML file (~7G compressed) into a YAML file,
and my program seems to be buffering the input.
IOtest.py is just
import sys
for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
print line
but when I run
$ gzcat bigXMLfile.gz | IOtest.py
but it hangs then dies.
> readlines() reads all of the file into the memory. Try using xreadlines,
> the generator-version, instead. And I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* doing
>
> for line in sys.stdin
both work -- many thanks.
