I always used FortranFile, which uses (or used at any rate) the Python struct module to get those parts right. I suppose you could fiddle around with struct yourself, but it is probably better if you can just get FortranFile to work for you. This entry in the Scientific Python cookbook may help. http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/FortranIO If you still cannot get it to work, the place to ask for help with the FortranFile library is the scientific Python mailing list. http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-user whatever you are misunderstanding, they will know in a second because they do this all the time, and I do this once every 3 or 5 years, and then pretty much forget everything I learned until the next time I have to relearn it. Sorry I cannot remember more of the internal details, Laura _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
