Hello, i am trying to read a large bz2 compressed textfile using the bz2 module. The file is 1717362770 lines long and 8GB large. Using this code
source_file = bz2.BZ2File(file, "r") for line in source_file: print line.strip() print "Exiting" print "I used file: " + file the loop exits cleanly after 4311 lines in midline and the prints are executed. This happened on two different boxes runnig different brands of linux. Is there something i miss or should be done differently? Thank you.
