Filling up chunk to full - reading file in python

Question

I am reading file in standard way in python. I mean like this :

 with open("path_to_my_file", "rb") as fh:
        chunk = fh.read(5120)

But when I read file for example 22000byte size it gives me 5 chunks

1 - 5120

2 - 5120

3 - 5120

4 - 5120

5 - 1520

There is an option to fill up to full last chunk by Nulls on 1521-5120 indexes ??

Answer 1

I thing the simplest way is to do something like this :

    padded_chunk = ( chunk + '\0'*5120 ) [:5120]

Now padded_chunk is end-padded with nulls.
