simple Binary File to ASCII

[DmLens0435]

Hey everyone,

I'm relatively new to Python and I'm trying to convert a binary file to ACSII. I've tried using different extensions of the binascii() module, but receive a TypeError that the argument can't be a file.

Am I using binascii incorrectly?

>> f = open( "binaryfile.dat" , "rb" )
>> binascii.b2a_uu( f )
TypeError: b2a_uu() arguement 1 must be a string or read-only buffer, not file


Thanks in advance for your help!
