I'm reading in a pickled file. The program works but I'm having trouble sensing end of file. Here's the program:
# # pickle_in.py # program to read in a pickled file # # Frank L. Palmeri # import pickle # import the pickle module pickle_file = open("d:/Work/pickle_file", "rb") # open the pickled input file read_file = pickle.load(pickle_file) # read the first input record new_list=[] # create a new empty list while pickle_file: # loop until end of file for i in range(0, 4): # iterate for each field new_list.append(read_file[i]) # append each field to the new list i = i + 1 # increment loop counter print(new_list) # print the input record from the new list new_list=[] # initialize the new list for the next record read_file = pickle.load(pickle_file) # read the next record in the input file here's the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\MyDocs\Python\pickle_in.py", line 21, in <module> read_file = pickle.load(pickle_file) # read the next record in the input file File "D:\Python31\lib\pickle.py", line 1365, in load encoding=encoding, errors=errors).load() EOFError -- Frank L.
