I'm writing a tool to do some binary file comparisons.

x=fd.read(8)
print x
This prints out garbage. I would like to know what am i missing here.
Basically, I am trying to read
8 bytes from location 0x80 from a binary file called "filename"
Any tips/inputs are welcome.
(1) Put some air into those assignments; spaces are free.
(2) You probably want something like this:
import binascii
fd = open(filename, 'rb')
fd.seek(0x80)
x = fd.read(8)
print binascii.hexlify(x)
fd.close()
