Check out the 'struct' module, this allows you to read and write binary
strings. eg...
eg.
>>> from struct import pack, unpack
>>> delim = ':'
>>> code = 'U'
>>> x = 14
>>> y = 12
>>> data = pack('cchh', delim, code, x, y)
>>> data
':U\x0e\x00\x0c\x00'
>>
>>> d, c, x, y = unpack('cchh', data)
>>> d
':'
>>> c
'U'
>>> x
14
>>> y
12
