I'm having trouble with a script that is printing the output of f.seek
()
[snip]
I have a file in memory.
when i try f.seek(0) #or any other value in f.tell()
it gives me 0 as output:
the following script illustrates my 'problem'
for a in range(10):
f.seek(a)
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
You're seeing an artifact of the command-line (evidenced by your
">>>" before your command). Just like
int("42")
returns output...the Python console prints the output while a
script (saved to the disk) doesn't.
Try putting your test in foo.py and running that -- you'll notice
that it doesn't echo back the numbers as you describe.
The behavior seems to vary. In my Python2.4, seek() for
file/cStringIO/StringIO objects returns None with each.
Whichever version (or object-type) you're using seems to return
its input offset as its output.
