I'm assuming '/x00' (which is nothing but a sequence of four characters
in Python) actually means '\0'.

You probably want to split the string into fields delimited by '\0'.
The first field returned is what you wanted to extract from the string.

Otherwise (if you actually want to know the position of the '\0'), you
can find it in the string.
