Hi fellas,
I am experiencing problems reading a 2GB zipfile consisting of
multiple zipped files. I found a thread http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-April/053027.html
that mentions a problem on the writing side, does such a problem exist
on a reading side? I am using 2.4.1, perhaps there is a fix in a later
version?

Additional info: my file is from a data provider, do not know what
they used to compress it. Previous files worked ok, this one is the
1st over 2GB. Winzip has no problem with it.


It could be you are using a Python with an in-built limit of 2GB on file size. What happens if you open the file, seek past the 2GB point and then try and read data?

regards
Steve
