Longint?!

[Ivo]

Pythoneers,
I am trying to reed a long integer (4 byte value like in pascal) in python
but i don't seem to succeed.

It's from a binary file where from a certain offset in the file 4 bytes
(longint) tell how long a header is.

because I  don't have to assign a type to a variable I don't know how to
ensure i get the longint type read from the file.

Help very much appreciatend.
