I'm trying to convert a Real Basic routine into Python and I can't read the long integer data from a file.
Here is the Real Basic code: b=f.OpenAsBinaryFile b.LittleEndian=True i=b.ReadByte titles=b.ReadLong shows=b.ReadLong i=b.ReadLong And here is my code: db = open('otter.db', 'rb') null = db.read(1) # read empty byte titles = db.read(4) shows = db.read(4) null = db.read(1) # read empty byte print titles When I print titles I get ascii pictures. How do I convert 'titles' to an integer I can loop through? Is db.read(4) correct for ReadLong? Thanks! PS. here's the file I'm working with http://otterprojectonline.info/otter.db -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
