Unpacking binary data with struct.unpack

Hi!

I'm trying to read time from a RFC868 Time Server. The Server gives an
32Bit-Integer representing the time.
Does anybody know how to unpack the string given by socket.recv(4)? Is this
correct for receiving the 32Bit value?

Using struct.unpack('i', data) gives me a ValueError: incomplete format

Maybe I have to use xdrlib or something.

Any help is appreciated

Holger
