I can't help but wonder why it's in that data structure to begin with -- 
as you've seen, it's a pretty painfully inefficient way to do it.

you need it in a binary format that is compatible:

this is probably the best way, but you can also use an array.array 
object -- create an array.array of type byte from your list, then pass 
that in to putdata. (details left as an exercise for the reader)

I think working with numbers in Python without numpy would be like 
working with text using lists of characters, rather than the string object.
