def read_in_chunks(iterator, chunk_size=None, fill_size=False): (source)

Return a generator which yields data in chunks.

@type iterator: C{Iterator}
@param response: An object which implements an iterator interface
                 or a File like object with read method.

@type chunk_size: C{int}
@param chunk_size: Optional chunk size (defaults to CHUNK_SIZE)

@type fill_size: C{bool}
@param fill_size: If True, make sure chunks are chunk_size in length
                  (except for last chunk).

TODO: At some point in the future we could use byte arrays here if version
>= Python 3. This should speed things up a bit and reduce memory usage.

def exhaust_iterator(iterator): (source)

Exhaust an iterator and return all data returned by it.

@type iterator: C{Iterator}
@param response: An object which implements an iterator interface
                 or a File like object with read method.

@rtype C{str}
@return Data returned by the iterator.
