How to print to stdout in binary

[pehr anderson]

What platform are you developing on?
under linux I did the following in a file "t.py":

	import sys
	x = open("python.prc", "rb").read()
	sys.stdout.write(x)

[pehr at morseall python]$ python t.py  > t
[pehr at morseall python]$ diff python.prc t

I didn't get any differences when I did this. 
Would you try it and see how it goes?
