Summary: binary file read/write inconsistency
Initial Comment:
I'm using py 2.1.3 for windows
here's a sample code that works fine in Unix and somekind
weird in Win32:
###############################
import os.path
pth = "22"
f = open(pth,'w')
for k in range(256):
f.write(chr(k))
f.close()
f = open(pth)
dat = f.read()
f.close()
print len(dat), 'vs' , os.path.getsize(pth)
print "last read symbol is: 0x%x" % ord(dat[-1])
#################################
Windows version writes 0x0D 0x0A instead of 0x0A so file
length is 257 bytes instead of 256 as one might expect
and reading just ends at 0x19 (probably end of file
symbol).
