Create a zip file with a file inside consisting of several GB (say 2 or 5 GB). The zipfile module will fail, when attempting to extract the large file. The issue is near line 490 in zifile.py. It appears that read (a file operation) is unable to read such large amounts of data. I tried editing zipfile.py so that read would read things piece by piece but just got a memory error. Does anyone know how to fix this limitation in the zipfile module? _________________________________________________________________ See what you’re getting into…before you go there http://newlivehotmail.com/?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_viral_preview_0507

Please file a bug at the new bug tracker (bugs.python.org). Please add a small self-contained code sample that shows the issue, and specify what you would like to see instead (keeping in mind that you just can't allocate 2 GB on a 32-bit box). --Guido On 8/29/07, Kevin Ar18 <kevinar18@hotmail.com> wrote:
