[New-bugs-announce] [issue5554] file.read() doesn't read the whole file

[Ultrasick]

New submission from Ultrasick <python at ontheserver.de>:

--------------------------------------------------------
# open the file
file = open('F:/test.bmp', 'r')

# read the content
content = file.read()

# close the file
file.close()

print "len(content): " + str(len(content))
--------------------------------------------------------
Returns

len(content): 1522

on my computer. But it should be something like

len(content): 1248858
