Hi pyple !


I'd like to write a stream of bytes into a file. I'd like to use the
struct (instead of bytearray) module because I will have to write more
than bytes.

let's say I want a file with 4 bytes in that order:

01 02 03 04

None of these work:

import struct

with open('toto', 'wb') as f: f.write(struct.pack('4B', *[1,2,3,4]))
with open('toto', 'wb') as f: f.write(struct.pack('<4B', *[1,2,3,4]))
with open('toto', 'wb') as f: f.write(struct.pack('>4B', *[1,2,3,4]))

I always end up with the following bytes on file:
!hexdump toto
0000000 0201 0403

Why is the hex dump doing 16-bits at a time? Get a byte dump, then it might actually be the right output.

Anyway, this seems to work:

data=bytearray([1,2,3,4])

f = open("output", "wb")
f.write(data)
f.close()

Doubtless there are plenty of other ways.
