Getting binary data out of a postgre database

[projecktzero]

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't check the group/list over the
weekend.

Anyway, I added a print rec[0] just after the fetchone. Then I ran it
from the command line, and it spewed a bunch of binary gibberish nearly
locking up Putty.

To me, it seems like it's coming out in the right format, but I'm not
sure what I'm doing wrong.  If you have any ideas, I'd really
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mike
