I am trying to read a binary file created by the following matlab command: fid=fopen('a.bin','w','b'); fwrite(fid,a,'real*8'); fclose(fid);, and wondering how to do it in Python. I googled it but still get confused. 'b' in fopen is for 'big-endian', 'real*8' in fwrite is for 64bit float.
f = open("a.bin", "rb") # read binary data s = f.read() # read all bytes into a string import array, sys a = array.array("f", s) # "f" for float if sys.byteorder != "big": a.byteswap() </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
