I see, I'm sorry, I have found hachoir quite nice in the past. Maybe there's no really efficient way to do it with Python, but you can create a compiled extension, so you can see if it's fast enough for your purposes. To create such extension you can: - One thing that requires very little time is to create an extension with ShedSkin, once installed it just needs Python code. - Cython (ex-Pyrex) too may be okay, but it's a bit trikier on Windows machines. - Using Pyd to create a D extension for Python is often the faster way I have found to create extensions. I need just few minutes to create them this way. But you need to know a bit of D. - Then, if you want you can write a C extension, but if you have not done it before you may need some hours to make it work.
