Thanks Tim, Shame about the None returns; I keep on bumping up against these! I'm currently going for the over-read exception - a bit like over-kill, we read beyond the size reported in the smallest block size chunks (512 bytes) until an exception is raised. It does mean we will get 101%

Hi Tony, Thanks for the wxPython code. My reason for wanting to avoid wxPython (and pyQt) is that I don't want to ship the wxPython framework just to display a splash screen. I believe this might triple the size of my PY2EXE generated executables - not a worthwhile tradeoff for a cosmetic feature
