New submission from Chris Withers: gzip.py uses range instead of xrange in two places. This results in excessive memory usage when opening large .gz files. I actually bumped into this using tarfile.
Am I right in thinking that range basically *is* xrange in 3.x? If so, this bug applies only to 2.6 and 2.7. ---------- assignee: cjw296 components: Library (Lib) messages: 175176 nosy: cjw296 priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: range usage in gzip module leads to excessive memory usage. type: resource usage versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16441> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
