Your questions are somewhat difficult to answer because you misunderstand

Thanks alot for taking the time.
I get it now. I sort of, but not fully, misunderstood the conecpt of binary
files.
The thing I was after; and the thing Im playing with now after a more
succesfull time with google,
is writing more specific things to a file than just strings.
English is not my native language so please forgive me, but
I wanted to write specifc 16bit codes, and read them. And later play with
bitwise operations on them. Sort of.
It might not make sense at all, but hey.. it doesnt have to
I think I understand what you want. Look at the struct module:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/struct.html
You can write/read binary data from files with standard means. Using
struct, you can interpret or format integer values into a specific
binary format. That would allow to create a reader or writer for a given
binary format in Python.
