Open cshintov opened 8 years ago

cshintov commented 8 years ago

When I am Iterating through a marc file containing multiple MARC records, After the last record the following exception is raised. Traceback (most recent call last): File "compare_marcs.py", line 320, in pprint(compare_marc_files(exp, obs)) File "compare_marcs.py", line 299, in compare_marc_files for exp_marc, obs_marc in izip(expected, observed): File "/home/shinto/shinto/virtualenvs/marc/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/six.py", line 558, in next return type(self).next(self) File "/home/shinto/shinto/virtualenvs/marc/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pymarc/reader.py", line 97, in next utf8_handling=self.utf8_handling) File "/home/shinto/shinto/virtualenvs/marc/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pymarc/record.py", line 74, in init utf8_handling=utf8_handling) File "/home/shinto/shinto/virtualenvs/marc/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pymarc/record.py", line 245, in decode_marc raise BaseAddressInvalid pymarc.exceptions.BaseAddressInvalid: Base address exceeds size of record

It sounds like your file might be cut off before the end of the last record, or at least pymarc thinks so. How are you opening the file and creating the reader?

Hi I am opening the files using 'with' . exp and obs are the two marc files.

with open(exp) as exp_marcs, open(obs) as obs_marcs: for exp_marc, obs_marc in izip(expected, observed): do stuff

Thanks, Shinto.

That's an interesting way to do it. And by interesting I mean I have no idea what it does :-) Can you explain what's going on there?
