hello all I am trying to write a script in python that parses a gzipped logfile
the unzipped logfiles can be very large (>2GB) basically the statements file = gzip.GzipFile(logfile) data = file.read() for line in data.striplines(): .... would do what I want, but this is not feasible becasue the gzip files are so huge. So I do file.readline() in a for loop, but have no idea how long to continue, because I dont know how many lines the files contain. How do I check for end of file when using readline() ? simply put it in a while loop and enclose it with try: except: ? what would be the best (fastest) approach to deal with such large gzip files in python? thanks _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
