Read binary data in python

[František Kolář]

Hi Group, 

I have saved bin data in java and not really sure how to read it in python back. 

>> collection.find_one({"identity": "2000000012"})

{u'state': u'Approved', u'received': datetime.datetime(2012, 11, 11, 16, 23, 57, 670000), u'_type': u'rawdocument', u'preview': [{u'contentType': u'image/jpg', u'_type': u'eu.phobos.data.statement.BinaryData', u'pageNumber': 1, u'binaryData': Binary('\xff\xd8\xff\xe0\x00\x10JFIF\x00\x01\x02\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x00\xff\xdb\x00C\x00\x08\x06\x06\x07\x06\x05\x08\x07\x07\x07\t\t\x08\n\x0c\x14\r\x0c\x0b\x0b\x0c\x19\x12\x13\x0f\x14\x1d\x1a\x1f\x1e\x1d\x1a\x1c\x1c $.\' ",#\x1c\x1c(7),01444\x1f\'9=82<.342\xff\xdb\x00C\x01\t\t\t\x0c\x0b\x0c\x18\r\r\x182!\x1c!22222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222\xff\xc0\x00\x11\x08\x04b\x03\x19\x03\x01"\x00\x

Any idea how to read it back from the field. u'binaryData : Binary('\xff\xd8\xff\xe0\x00\x10J...., 0 ) 

Thank you for any help.

The Binary type in PyMongo is just a subtype of str (in python 2) or
bytes (in python 3). You don't have to do any conversion to work with
the data. Data stored as BSON Binary is not altered in any way.

thank you for the answer. I am not unfortunately a python guy and have to modify some fragment of code..
