1. Why doesn't this Python script work on Windows? 2011-04-04 19:01:48

   By default Python opens files in "text" mode, which means that linefeed characters written to the file will be converted to whatever the local operating system uses as end-of-line markers. Unix (therefore Mac and Linux too) uses a linefeed character as its end-of-line marker so the result is that the data makes it into the file exactly as written. Windows, on the other hand, uses a pair of characters (cariage return followed by linefeed) as its end-of-line marker, so anytime your program writes a linefeed into the file you'll end up with CR+LF in the file. That will corrupt any binary file that happens to contain 0x10 bytes because those are linefeed characters.
   
   The solution is to tell Python that this isn't a text file, it's a binary file and therefore it shouldn't be subjected to these end-of-line transformations. To do that, add a 'b' to the "mode" argument of the open() call:
   
     z = open( filename, 'wb' )
   
   Similarly, if you were opening a binary file in order to read it into your program you'd do:
   
     z = open( filename, 'rb' )
