Writing binary files

[leind at sofcom.com]

I have a large amount of binary data in memory (am image)
and I'm trying to write it to a file.  But I can't find a simple
example showing how this is done.

I just need to write the data "as is" to a file.

I've looked at the 'struct' module but that doesn't
look like what I need.  Also the 'pickle' module
appears to be used for formating binary data.  Again,
not what I need.

Does python have the ablitiy to open a file and write
binary data to it?

I'm running under Mandrake linux using python 2.0
