I need to read a file that is either a gzip or a text file (on both *nix
and Windows).
Since I didn't find a way to determine a file type, I thought of using
the following:
import gzip
FILE = "../dpm/save_state-ssp8400-F0023209_080723-110131/top.1"
#FILE =
"../dpm/save_state-ssp8400-F0023209_080723-110131/var/log/sac.log.0.gz"
try:
file = gzip.GzipFile(F ILE, "r")
except IOError:
file = open(FILE, "r")
print file.read()
Strangely, when FILE is a gzip file, all is fine.
But, when FILE is a text file (as in the above code), I get the
following:
$ python ./gzip_try.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./gzip_try.py", line 11, in <module>
print file.read() <<<============ =======
File "c:\Python25\li b\gzip.py", line 220, in read
self._read(read size)
File "c:\Python25\li b\gzip.py", line 263, in _read
self._read_gzip _header()
File "c:\Python25\li b\gzip.py", line 164, in _read_gzip_head er
raise IOError, 'Not a gzipped file'
IOError: Not a gzipped file
Can you explain why the try...except in my code does not work ?
Or, back to my original problem: how do I deal with a file whether it's
a text file or a gzip file ?
Note *where* the exception is raised. Until something is actually read, no
check is made for the file format.

I am far from a PHP expert, and I've been struggling to create a function
which will take a javascript .js file and "compact" it as much as possible.
Meaning, remove all comments and unnecessary whitespace. "Obfuscation" is
not necessary. Obviously, the compacted javascript should run identically to
the original javascript.
Can anyone point me to an existing function that does this?
Thanks!

I am simply trying to zip together selected files into a single ZIP
file. Windows XP doesn't have a native process by which you can do
this, so I borrowed gzip, downloaded and installed, and upon using it:
<?
$msg = exec('gzip -q --suffix .zip '. @join(' ', $fileArray));
?>
All of my files named in $fileArray were horribly mangled!! They all
were converted individually into files with .zip extension that lost

Thanks Gabriel,
Okay, I get it: I was under the impression that the format check would be done on the open.
Bye,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
