Xavier de Gaye added the comment: On linux with large file support, OSError is raised when the file system limit is exceeded, here with ext4:
>>> f.seek(2**44 - 2**11) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument >>> f.seek(2**44 - 2**12) 17592186040320 >>> f.write(b'A' * 2**11) 2048 >>> f.write(b'A' * 2**11) 2048 >>> f.tell() 17592186044416 >>> f.write(b'A' * 2**11) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: [Errno 27] File too large On the Android emulator (no large file support): >>> f.seek(2**31) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: cannot fit 'int' into an offset-sized integer >>> f.seek(2**31 - 1) 2147483647 >>> f.write(b'A') 1 >>> f.tell() -2147483648 >>> f.flush() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type Surprisingly f.write(b'A') does not raise an exception. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
