Thanks Alex,
                   I was writing to file strings such as
'\n\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' and then trying to retrieve them via
readline().  It turns out that querying a MySQL table is easily quick enough
for my purposes (the bottlenecks are elsewhere).  But I'll certainly check
out quopri (seeing as I wasn't aware of it).  Thanks again.
