Thanks for replying.
It means that no need to use the 'Struct' module for binary file read,
right?

===================================================================
Please reply to the list (or use reply-all). 


It really depends on your file. The struct module says, "This module 
performs conversions between Python values and C structs represented 
as Python strings." If your file is not a C-struct data then no need
to use the struct module. For every other kind of binary data, use
a library suited to that file if it exists.  Otherwise you can read
the raw data by just opening the file in binary mode as I shows in my
previous email.
