Weekly meeting for 2022-06-07 #47

What I accomplished last week

42

[x] Tried to create code for compression checkpoints, struggled

What I plan to do next week

[x] make temporary file for outputs
[x] figure out how to prevent gzip from deleting the original file for later use

Is there anything that Kevin can help with

[x] understanding how to alter the checkpoints rule so that it takes the input that we want rather than wildcards
[ ] how to use a rule to tell combine to listen to checkpoints
[ ] what exactly f.read().strip() == "": means.. when I looked it up it says it looks in a string, does this mean it will see if the input is present?

How did the last week go?

[ ] I accomplished all or most of my goals
[X] I used my time wisely
[ ] I struggled with a problem, but solved it
[X] I ran into an issue I can't solve on my own

Where did you find f.read().strip() == ""?

f.read() is, I'm guessing, reading content from a file
.strip() removes any trailing white space, like a new line
... == "" is asking if it's an empty string

So all together, I think this is asking if the file (or file pointer) is empty / at the end?
