Hi,
Sorry to be late commenting. A python module is a file and the package structure corresponds to a directory tree - so clearly we need multiple modules arranged in packages.
I would also suggest that enum like variables be entirely in capitals
I don't find that: bytes_read = f.read (buffer, len) is very pythonesqe. Surely it should be buffer = f.read() and len(buffer) will tell you what you have got.
But how can you then specify that you want to read 20 bytes, instead of the whole 20GB file?
Is this a complete Python implementation or is it a wrapper around C++?
Our implementation wraps around C++. If I am not mistaken, Pauls implementation will wrap around Java (using Jython)? Cheers, Andre.
Steve
