changing an entry ina binary file using python --URGENT

hi all,

please help me…i am really in an awkard position.

i need to change an entry in a binary file.

I am having a binary file EG.bin and EG.cfg.

i need to open the cfg file and change an entry in that…

right now what ppl are doing is … opening the cfg(configuration file) file using VC++

then change the content manually

but i need to write a python script that solves the problem.

i tried opening the file using

binfile = file(“EG.cfg”,“rb”)

for line in binfile.readlines():
print line

Now close it again

binfile.close()

what now happens is i am not getting the values … instead of that i’m getting junk values…

Any idea how to open a binary file so that we can get the values correctly???
