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.
Not a guru, but I will try to help out :-)
how about this:
>>> import binhex
>>> binhex.binhex('C:/windows/system32/telnet.exe', 'C:/TEMP/telnet.hex')
>>>
Now this is what telnet.hex looks like:
(This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0)
:#R4PE'jPG#jPH'8!2j!)[EMAIL PROTECTED]"d!
!N#2J!!!!$Kqk$J#d#FdKZ!&-c5&8D'Pc)("[EMAIL PROTECTED]&ZEQpd)'*P)(*eEL"
TEL"[EMAIL PROTECTED]([EMAIL PROTECTED]&THS#Cj([EMAIL PROTECTED]&TIS'P

(... Big Snip ...)
Or how about this?
>>> f = open('C:/windows/system32/telnet.exe', 'rb')
>>> fcontents = f.read()
>>> import binhex
>>> print binhex.binascii.hexlify(fcontents[0:10])
'4d5a9000030000000400'
>>>
Is this what you want???
Thanks,
