I just recently learned python, I'm using it mainly to process huge <5GB txt files of ASCII information about DNA. I've decided to learn 3.0, but maybe I need to step back to 2.6?
I'm getting exceedingly frustrated by the slow file IO behaviour of python 3.0. I know that a bug-report was submitted here: http://bugs.python.org/issue4533. And a solution was posted. However, i don't know how to apply this patch. I've searched the forums and tried: C:\python30> patch -p0 < fileio_buffer.patch The patch command is not recognized.. Any help on implementing this patch, or advice on moving back to the older version is appreciated. Kind regards, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
