As an example, here is the first two lines of output when I use Python 2.6.3:
60 63 120 109 108 32 118 101 114 115 105 111 110 61 39 49 46 48 39 32 101 110 99 111 100 105 110 103 61 39 85 84 70 45 49 54 39 63 62 10
60 255 254 104 0 116 0 109 0 108 0 62 255 254 10

Note:
No 255 254 at the start of the file, but several within it.
No zeros interspersing the first line and the odd one missing thereafter.
