... duh.  I'm sorry, I screwed that up completely.  My code above there is
totally bogus.


I mean to say:

    a.update(open('filename', 'rb').read())

The 'rb' was meant to be the second argument to the open() function call.
It certainly wasn't supposed to be fed into read()!  *grin*


My apologies again; I'll try to be more careful next time.
