【python】确保文件写入结束
今天遇到了个问题:
我在执行如下代码时发现,文件只写了一半。也就是说,当文件量过大时,下面的代码是不能保证文件被正确写入的。
fd = open('test.txt','w') fd.write("a lot of thing") fd.close()
解决办法:

1.实际上,这个问题,是涉及到文件的缓存,操作系统的缓存方面的内容。
而对此,文件级别的缓存,已经有对应的函数:
- file.flush()
Flush the internal buffer, like stdio‘s fflush(). This may be a no-op on some file-like objects.
Note
flush() does not necessarily write the file’s data to disk. Use flush()followed by os.fsync() to ensure this behavior.
去保证数据的写回了.
2.而且另外,上面也提到了,如果想要真正能够确保数据的确已经写回了,可以使用:
- os.fsync(fd)
Force write of file with filedescriptor fd to disk. On Unix, this calls the native fsync() function; on Windows, the MS _commit() function.
If you’re starting with a Python file object f, first do f.flush(), and then doos.fsync(f.fileno()), to ensure that all internal buffers associated with f are written to disk.
Availability: Unix, and Windows starting in 2.2.3.
所以,相关的,正确的,完整的代码,就是:
import os; fileObj=open('filename', 'w'); #write data into fileObj here #first do file flush() fileObj.flush(); #then os fsync() os.fsync(fileObj); #then close is safe fileObj.close();
