Hi all,
I'm seeing some behavior that is confusing me. I often use a simple
function to tell if a file is growing...ie being copied into a certain
location. (Can't process it until it's complete) My function is not
working on windows, and I'm wondering if I am missing something
simple, or if I have just never tried this before. Here's what I'm
trying to do:
def isGrowing(f, timeout):
ssize = os.path.getsize(f)
time.sleep(timeout)
esize =os.path.getsize(f)
return esize != ssize
On windows, this returns the size of the file as it _will be_, not the
size that it currently is. Is this a feature? What is the proper way
to get the current size of the file? I noticed
win32File.GetFileSize() Does that behave the way I expect?
PS. I also tried os.stat()[6]
