You may need to use eval, because raw_input() does not understand '\'- prefixed characters. >>> testValue = eval('"%s"' % raw_input("Enter Binary Code..: ")) Enter Binary Code..: \x02\x00 >>> junk, = struct.unpack('h', testValue) >>> print junk 2 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
