Hi All,
Currently fromfile prints a message raises a MemoryError when more items are
requested than read, but fromstring raises a value error:
In [8]: fromstring("", count=10)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/charris/<ipython console> in <module>()
ValueError: string is smaller than requested size
In [9]: fromfile("empty.dat", count=10)
10 items requested but only 0 read
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MemoryError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/charris/<ipython console> in <module>()
MemoryError:
I think fromfile should also raise a ValueError in this case. Thoughts?
Chuck
