Read Binary Data in Python

In Python, you can use the open() function to read binary data. When opening a file, you need to specify the binary mode by using the “rb” mode.

Here is a sample code demonstrating how to read a binary file and print its contents:

with open('binary_data.bin', 'rb') as file:
    data = file.read()

print(data)

In the above code, using open(‘binary_data.bin’, ‘rb’) opens a file named binary_data.bin and specifies reading it in binary mode. file.read() reads all the content of the file and stores it in the data variable. Finally, print(data) is used to print the binary data.

Please note that when reading binary data, it may be necessary to use the appropriate decoding method to convert it into readable text or other formats, depending on the type and format of the data.
