If you really don't know what the parentheses and comma mean in the
above output, I would suggest that you need to go back a step and walk
through the Python tutorial before you try to continue on with what you
are attempting to do. (Section 5.3 specifically covers your question.)
Either that, or read the documentation on struct.unpack() since that
describes what it returns fairly clearly.
Assuming your input represents a C-style integer (i.e. fixed size)
rather than a Python long integer (of arbitrary length), you should be
able to use just struct.unpack('i', mybinarydata)[0] to get the result
you need...
