Thank you! I wasn't aware of that module. It looks like it
should do exactly what's needed.

Although this would probably do instead of the last 2 lines
(and excuse the fact that it's real ugly code, as well as
untested)

for i in range(4):
    index = i * 32
    print hexlify(data[index: index+32])
for i in range(232):
    index = i * 4 + 113
    print hexlify(data[index: index + 4])
