Execute binary code

[citronelu at yahoo.com]

Is it possible to execute a binary string stored within a python script
as executable code ?

The script is run under Windows, and the binary code (a full executable
file) is stored in a variable in the script.

I know I can use os.system() or os.popen() to run an external file, but
these functions take as argument a string evaluated as command-line.

I also know I could save the binary code as a temporary file, execute
it and delete it afterwards, but this is not an alternative.

Thanks.
