Reading/writing binary data.

Hello,
I've been searching the Python (1.5) docs, but am unable to find any
functions to read/write binary data from/to a file. Under the "open"
function I see that you can append a "b" to the mode to specify binary
mode, but that doesn't help me any.
For example, if I want to take a list of numbers like [64,66,67] and
write them to a file as binary, how would I do that? I also need to
be able to control whether the data is written in big endian or little
endian format.
BTW, I'm running Redhat 7.1 on an Intel processor.
Thanks,
Ben
