According to your code, you're not using 'w', you're using 'rwb'. In that respect Python's open behaves the same as C's fopen. > Also, you might notice that my "self.m_file.read()" function is wrong, > according to the python docs at least. read() takes the number of > bytes to read, however I was not able to find a C++ equivalent of > "sizeof()" in Python. If I wanted to read in a 1 byte, 2 byte, or 4 > byte value from data into python I have no idea how I would do this. Simply read as much data as you need. If you need to unpack external data into Python object and vice versa, look at the struct module (http://docs.python.org/lib/module-struct.html). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
