I'd like to read in a binary file, convert it's 4 byte values into
floats, and then save as a .txt file.
This works from the command line (import struct);
In [1]: f = open("test2.pc0", "rb")
In [2]: tagData = f.read(4)
In [3]: tagData
Out[3]: '\x00\x00\xc0@'
I can then do the following in order to convert it to a float:
In [4]: struct.unpack("f", "\x00\x00\xc0@")
Out[4]: (6.0,)
But when I run the same code from my .py file:
f = open("test2.pc0", "rb")
tagData = f.read(4)
print tagData
I get this (ASCII??):
„@
Remembering to put that struct.unpack() call in your module might
help ;-)

tagData still contains your data, but it is being displayed two different
ways. Consult the documentation about str() and repr().
