Hi all, I am using Python to read from a binary device file which requires that all read sizes are in 8byte multiples and the user's buffer is 8byte aligned.
I am currently using a file object and the file.read() method. However, the issue is that the file.read() method allocates the buffer passed to C function under the covers and, therefore, the alignment is arbitrary. Is there a way that I can get file.read() to use an 8byte aligned buffer? Thanks, - Mitko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
