The basic idea would be to open your datastream in binary mode (http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#open), then use read(11) to read exactly 11 bytes into a string. Depending on what the 11 bytes are, you might want to use the struct module (http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html) to extract the data in a more useful form. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
