Hi, I'm attempting to read the first MB of a binary file and then do a md5 hash on it so that i can find the file later despite it being moved or any file name changes that may have been made to it. These files are large (350-1400MB) video files and i often located on a different computer and I figure that there is a low risk for generating the same hash between two files. The problem occurs in the read command which returns all \x00s. Any ideas why this is happening?
Code: >>>>open("Chuck.S01E01.HDTV.XViD-YesTV.avi", "rb").read(1024) b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00....\x00' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
