Hello, I wrote a program that reads data from a file and puts it in a string, the problem is that it loops infinitely and that's not wanted, here is the code :
d = repr(f.read(DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE)) while d != "": file_str.write(d) d = repr(f.read(DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE)) I also tried writing the while's condition like so : len(d) > 0, but that doesn't change anything. I tried step-by-step debugging using PyDev(eclipse plugin) and I noticed this, once the while was read once, it is never re-read, basically, the looping does happen, but just in between the two lines in the loop's body/block, it never goes on the while and thus never verifies the condition and thus loops forever. I had been using psyco (a sort of JIT for python) and so I uninstalled it and restarted eclipse and I still get the same thing. This looks like some bug, but I may be wrong, does anybody understand what's going on here? Thanks, Gabriel PS And yes I checked, the "d" variable is en empty string at some point, so the looping should stop. -- Arimaz SA Av. du 24 Janvier 11 Ateliers de la Ville de Renens, Atelier 5 1020 Renens, Switzerland www.mydeskfriend.com Mob: +41-(0)79-539-0069 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
