Greetings to the Python gurus,
I have a binary file and wish to see the "raw" content of it. So I open
it in binary mode, and read one byte at a time to a variable, which
will be of the string type. Now the problem is how to print the binary
format of that charater to the standard output. It seems a common task
but I just cannot find the appropriate method from the documentation.
Thanks a lot.
How is this *not* what you want:
import sys
f = open(filename, 'rb')
data = f.read(1)
while data:
sys.stdout.write(data)
data = f.read(1)
Of course, that's the long version of:
print open(filename, 'rb').read()
// m
