can't read the uploaded blob in app engine

Question

as pointed out on the overview page of blobstore api page

An app can read a Blobstore value a portion at a time using an API call. can anybody provide a snippet doing exactly that?

Answer 1

You want the [fetchData method][1]. It takes a blob key and a range, and returns that range of bytes from the file.
