Hello,
|
||
|
|
I'm looking for a simple example of how to use the compression module, gzip.
|
||
|
|
All I want to do is a make a compressed copy of a file. From the gzip
|
||
|
|
documentation I see how to open a file for compression but I'm not sure what
|
||
|
|
to do with it after that. From the gzip documentation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
open (fileobj[, filename[, mode[, compresslevel]]])
|
||
|
|
Returns a new GzipFile object on top of fileobj, which can be a regular
|
||
|
|
file, a StringIO object, or any object which simulates a file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Okay, so I opened this file object :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
f=open('/Audit.dbf','r')
|
||
|
|
test=gzip.GzipFile('Auditc','r','9',f)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So now how do I produce a compressed version of it?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks,
|
||
|
|
