Hi!
What is the best way to read a file that begins with some few text lines
and whose rest is a binary stream?
As an exmaple ... files .pnm.
Thanks for any comments/help on this.
In which version of Python? there's a huge difference between 2.x and 3.x
Generally speaking, you can treat a piece of a binary (input) file as an
encoded string, so you want to open the file as binary, locate the part
that's text, and then explicitly decode the string from that.
