I missed the start of this thread, but this might help
someone: when printing binary files on stdout on win32, you
also have to make stdout binary:
if sys.platform=="win32":
import msvcrt
msvcrt.setmode(sys.__stdin__.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)
msvcrt.setmode(sys.__stdout__.fileno(), os.O_BINARY)
And you'd probably also want to say:
sys.stdout.write(fp.read())
instead of "print" in the code above...
