Hello Friends,
It's my first post to python-list, so first let me introduce myself...
* my name is Jan Kaliszewski,
* country -- Poland,
* occupation -- composer (studied in F. Chopin Academy of Music @Warsaw)
and programmer (currently in Record System company,
working on Anakonda -- ERP system for
big companies [developed in Python + WX
+ Postgres]).
Now, to the matter...

Do You (r2) want to do get ASCII substrings (i.e. extract only those
pieces of file that consist of ASCII codes -- i.e. 7-bit values -- i.e in
range 0...127), or rather "possibly readable ascii representation" of
the whole file, with printable ascii characters preserved 'as is' and
not-printable/non-ascii characters being replaced with their codes
(e.g. with '\x...' notation).
If the latter, you probably want something like this:
import codecs
with open('memdump.binary', 'rb') as source:
with open('memdump.txt', 'w') as target:
for quasiline in codecs.iterencode(source, 'string_escape'):
target.write(quasiline)
