Writing then reading in-memory bytes (BytesIO) gives a blank result

问题

I wanted to try out the python BytesIO class.

As an experiment I tried writing to a zip file in memory, and then reading the bytes back out of that zip file. So instead of passing in a file-object to gzip, I pass in a BytesIO object. Here is the entire script:

from io import BytesIO
import gzip

# write bytes to zip file in memory
myio = BytesIO()
g = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=myio, mode='wb')
g.write(b"does it work")
g.close()

# read bytes from zip file in memory
g = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=myio, mode='rb')
result = g.read()
g.close()

print(result)

But it is returning an empty bytes object for result. This happens in both Python 2.7 and 3.4. What am I missing?

回答1:

You need to seek back to the beginning of the file after writing the initial in memory file...

myio.seek(0)

How about we write and read gzip content in the same context like this? If this approach is good and works for you anyone reading this, please +1 for this answer so that I know this approach right and works for other people?

#!/usr/bin/env python

from io import BytesIO
import gzip

content = b"does it work"

# write bytes to zip file in memory
gzipped_content = None
with BytesIO() as myio:
    with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=myio, mode='wb') as g:
        g.write(content)
        g.close()
    gzipped_content = myio.getvalue()

print(gzipped_content)
print(content == gzip.decompress(gzipped_content))
