I'm using Python to recreate a program that have been written in Fortran 95, the program opens a binary file, containing only float numbers, and read a specific value, it works just fine in Fortran, when I execute the code, I get 284.69 for example.
Although, when I try to do the same in Python, reading the entire first line of the file, I get characters like these:
Y{�C�x�Cz~�C�x�C�j�C�r�C�v�Ch�Ck�CVx�C
Here is how I open the file and read the values:
f = open(args.model_files[0], "r").readlines()
print str(f[0])
I can't provide a file as example, because it is too big, but I affirm that there is only float numbers.
I would like to at least understand what type of characters I'm getting, or what I'm doing wrong when opening the file, any suggestion is welcome.
