Script is printing UTF-16 or something, viewer is expecting ASCII or
some eight bit code and making null bytes visible as ^@.
Python gets some default encoding from its environment. There are ways
to set the default, and ways to override the default in the script. For
example, you can specify an encoding when you open a file.
