The code
with open('workfile', encoding="utf-8") as f:
read_data = f.read()
is for reading text and you would normally be concerned with the character
count. Try
with open('workfile', "rb") as f:
read_data = f.read()

I'm Python-naive. But trying to educate myself with the example,
<https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html>:
with open('workfile', encoding="utf-8") as f:
read_data = f.read()
... I see no explicit byte count. Is that implied, perhaps by a declaration
such as "char read_data[ LRECL ]"?
