I just found a well-hidden part of the behaviour you expected.

Why would this print the bytes in hex format? “Convert to hexadecimal”
is not the default text encoding for ‘print’.
Instead, use the built-in ‘hex’ function to create a new string with
the value of the bytes:
bytes = fd.read(8)
for byte in bytes:
print hex(byte)
If that's not sufficient, you'll need to be more explicit in
describing what it is you want to do.
