The problem is likely due to the fact that myFile.data is not a string for large files, so you can't split it. It is actually a PData object which segments the data into chunks for better memory handling. If you use the str() function on the file though, that should give you what you want: theData = str(myFile) hth, -Casey --- complaw@hal-pc.org wrote:
I have a python script that works just fine in Zope for SMALL input files (between 1-100 cases). However, Zope returns an error when the input file gets large (100+ cases, depending on the situation). In the error message, Zope points to a line where I take the input file and split it to create a list of lines. Note, the same script (with split) works just fine when I run the script in regular python (i.e., outside of Zope).
To get around this, I would normally just read the file one line at a time, however, we don't have access to the sys module in Zope. I have loaded the input file into a File Object in Zope, and can access it via...
theData = context.myFile.data
The problem that I have is that when you do a split on theData, Zope returns the split error (IF myFile is large enough).
The question I have is, how can I read small chunks of content from the File Object? This is akin to reading a text file one line at a time.
Any hints?
