I am having a problem with gzip. The code worked fine under linux but

fileObj = gzip.GzipFile(iceGetter.file.localFileName, 'rb')
uncompressedFileName = iceGetter.file.localFileName[:-3]
output = open(uncompressedFileName, 'wb')
output.write(fileObj.read())
output.close()
fileObj.close()

typing "python autoIce.py" gets this error:
--error--
Traceback(most recent call last):
File "runAuto.py", line 17 in ?

self._read(readsize)
File "C:\Python24\lib\gzip.py", line 276 in _read
uncompress.decompress.decompress(buf)
Memory Error

Is the uncompressed file big? Instead of output.write(fileObj.read()) --that reads the whole contents in memory-- try shutil.copyfileobj(fileObj, output)
