New submission from jeff deifik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have a program that needs to output binary data to stdout.
I don't want to convert it to a string.
for example something like
sys.stdout.write('0o377')
to write a byte with all the bits turned on.
When I try this, I get an error like:
sys.stdout.write(data)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/io.py", line 1484, in write
s.__class__.__name__)
TypeError: can't write bytes to text stream
I know I can open a file in 'wb' mode and write to it, but what
I want to do is somehow switch the mode of stdout to 'wb' mode.
I read lots of python 3 documentation, as well as searched without
finding a way.
