I am trying to print binary data on screen but I got the following error.

f = open('/home/ehsen/1.mp3','rb')
g = f.read()
print g

I am trying to print binary data on screen but I got the following error.

f = open('/home/ehsen/1.mp3','rb')
g = f.read()
print g [...]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0:
unexpected code byte

One way of printing it would be:

print g.encode("hex")

but you don't say what you wanted to accomplish.
"printing" a mp3 file to the screen doesn't make much sense.

Maybe he's looking for the face of Jesus?

import gmpy

f = open('0010.wav','rb')
g = f.read()

line = []
count = 0
for i in g:
c = gmpy.digits(ord(i),2).zfill(8)
line.append(c)
count += 1
if count==10:
print ''.join(line)
line = []
count = 0
