Read from a gzip file in python
Question: I've just make excises of gzip on python.

    
    
    import gzip
    f=gzip.open('Onlyfinnaly.log.gz','rb')
    file_content=f.read()
    print file_content
    

And I get no output on the screen. As a beginner of python, I'm wondering what
should I do if I want to read the content of the file in the gzip file. Thank
you.


Answer: Try gzipping some data through the gzip libary like this...

    
    
    import gzip
    content = "Lots of content here"
    f = gzip.open('Onlyfinnaly.log.gz', 'wb')
    f.write(content)
    f.close()
    

... then run your code as posted ...

    
    
    import gzip
    f=gzip.open('Onlyfinnaly.log.gz','rb')
    file_content=f.read()
    print file_content
    

This method worked for me as for some reason the gzip library fails to read
some files.
