With the functions 'open()' and 'read()' and 'write()'. If you're on Windows, don't forget to include a 'b' in the mode string of the open() call, otherwise Python will assume that you're opening a text file.

You also might want to look into the 'struct' module, functions 'pack()' and 'unpack()'. They convert python values to their binary representation which is used in binary files.
