Just for the logs:
I've found bug reports that describes the problem:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=41793
http://bugs.python.org/issue1625

I haven't mentioned in the first mail that I'm using the python bz2 
module.

[OSM-talk] bz2-format of the planet-latest file

2010-04-06 Thread Werner Hoch
Hi there,

I'm currently playing on a random access tool for compressed osm files.

While my tool works fine for all files from
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/, I've problems with the latest 
planet file.

While all files from geofabrik are only single bz2 streams it seems that 
the planet consists of several independant streams that have many end 
of stream in the middle of the bz2 file.

After recompressing the planet with
  bzcat planet-latest.osm.bz2 |bzip2 planet-recoded.osm.bz2
I can read the created planet-recoded with my script now.

Does anyone know what is in the planet? 
Which tool is used to compress the planet?

The planet is compressed with a multi-threaded bz2 to make the generation 
faster.
