A problem with GzipFile (BUG?)

Hi.

I am writing to a file mixing "Normal" with gziped Data.
For that I am using GzipFile. For ex. 1st I write some data (A),
then I open a GzipFile and write let's say N (uncompressed) bytes (B).
Then I close GzipFile, write some more data (C) and close the file.
Unfortunately, when reading the the N compressed bytes (B) and
closing GzipFile, I didn't *always* get correctly positioned at
the beginning of (C)! Is this a bug? Is there a way to exhaust
all the bytes written to GzipFile so that the file pointer *always*
point to beginning of (C)?

Most of times this works fine, but not always!

Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone, I need some tar functionality for my program. Currently the following code properly displays tar archives, and tar.gz archives. However, it chokes on tar.bz2 archives with the following error: File "mail_filter.py", line 262, in extract_archive tar_archive = tarfile.open('', 'r', fileobj) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/tarfile.py", line 900, in open return func(name, "r", fileobj)

Hello, I'm trying to get a popup to keep focus when it is re-clicked. The script below is supposed to produce this exact behaviour, however it doesn't work, at least on firefox 1.0.7 and moz 1.7.12 (linux kubuntu). It does work with konqueror. It seems to work with firefox on windows but not with IE (not completly sure though).

The major complaint I have about Python is that the packages which connect it to other software components all seem to have serious problems. As long as you don't need to talk to anything outside the Python world, you're fine. But once you do, things go downhill. MySQLdb has version and platform compatibility problems. So does M2Crypto. The built-in SSL support is weak. Even basic sockets don't quite work right; the socket module...

Hi all, I'm using the gzip module to return a gzip response from a small python httpserver. I'd like to know the number of bytes written to the underlying socket, but it doesn't seem to support the tell() function. This works fine for a file: mattb ~ $ cat mygzip.py #!/usr/bin/env python

I'm using urllib2 and accepting gzip and deflate. It turns out that almost every site returns either normal text or gzip. But I finally found one that returns deflate. Here's how I un-gzip: compressedstream = StringIO.StringIO(data) gzipper = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressedstream) data = gzipper.read()

Appears like a patch was submitted to allow GzipFile to work from pipes long ago. But there's no comment on why this was never accepted. Is there a good reason? http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-June/020064.html -Brian

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
