Hi, I am learning python. I see a previous post has such code:
>>> data = '"binääridataa"\n'.encode('utf-8') >>> f = open('roska.txt', 'wb') >>> f.write(data) 17 >>> f.close() The .encode methods produced a bytestring, which Python likes to display as ASCII characters where it can and in hexadecimal where it cannot: >>> data b'"bin\xc3\xa4\xc3\xa4ridataa"\n' An "octal dump" in characters (where ASCII, otherwise apparently octal) and the corresponding hexadecimal shows that it is, indeed, these bytes that ended up in the file: $ od -t cx1 roska.txt When I run the above line with python 2.7, it does not recognize 'od'. Is it from a package? Or some internal function? Thanks, -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
