Probably what John wants to see is the output of something like this:

#one 'line' of data (since it's a binary file there is no real line
#ending convention: a line is just a specific number of bytes long,
#it's important to find out how many exactly)

from binascii import hexlify
inf = file('somefile','rb')
data = inf.read(1005) #a 113 bytes string + 232 4 bytes floats
L = map(hexlify,data)
print L
