Question

I don’t program in Python at all, so please forgive my code. I am trying to write a print function that terminates after a certain number of bytes. This is what I have done so far:

   def print_stuff(stuff, size):
    i = 0
    data = ""
    while i < size:
            if stuff[i]=='\0':
                    data += " "
            else:
                    data += stuff[i]
    print data

But when I tried to do printf_stuff(data, 5050) Python doesn’t print anything and seems to freeze. What am I doing wrong?

You’re not incrementing the value in i.
