[Tutor] Problem reading large files in binary mode

[Mirage Web Studio]

Try reading the file in chunks instead:

CHUNKSIZE = 2**20
hash = hashlib.md5()
while True:
     chunk = f.read(CHUNKSIZE)
     if not chunk:
         break
     hash.update(chunk)
hashvalue = hash.hexdigest()


Thank you peter for the above valubale reply.  but shouldn't read() by itself work because i have enough memory to load it or should it be a bug.

thank you

george
