python get data from an already opened file -
f=open("vmi","w") f.write("asdf") import os os.path.getsize("vmi") #0 byte f.close() os.path.getsize("vmi") # 4 bytes
where can find lost 4 bytes, on program execution, before file closed?
you try flush out data first:
f.flush()
why need this? well, os try buffer writes files performance reasons - lot slower write 1024 bytes 1 @ time write out whole buffer. so, whenever working file / pipe / socket kind of thing, keep in mind might buffering writes , need flush
first.
when closed file, flushed automatically.
