python中的二进制文件IO，从哪里开始?
问题描述
作为一名自学成才的 Python 爱好者，我将如何学习使用标准格式导入和导出二进制文件?
As a self-taught python hobbyist, how would I go about learning to import and export binary files using standard formats?
我想实现一个脚本，它采用 ePub 电子书(zip 中的 XHTML + CSS)并将其转换为 mobipocket (Palmdoc) 格式，以允许 Amazon Kindle 阅读它(作为更大项目的一部分)我正在努力).
I'd like to implement a script that takes ePub ebooks (XHTML + CSS in a zip) and converts it to a mobipocket (Palmdoc) format in order to allow the Amazon Kindle to read it (as part of a larger project that I'm working on).
已经有一个很棒的用于管理电子书库的开源项目:Calibre.我想尝试自己将其作为学习/自学练习来实施.我开始查看他们的 python 源码代码 并意识到我不知道发生了什么.当然，在任何事情上自学的最大危险是不知道你不知道什么.
There is already an awesome open-source project for managing ebook libraries : Calibre. I wanted to try implementing this on my own as a learning/self-teaching exercise. I started looking at their python source code and realized that I have no idea what is going on. Of course, the big danger in being self-taught at anything is not knowing what you don't know.
在这种情况下，我知道我对这些二进制文件以及如何在 python 代码中使用它们了解不多(struct?).但我认为我可能总体上缺少很多关于二进制文件的知识，我想要一些帮助来理解如何使用它们.这里是 mobi/palmdoc 标头的详细概述.谢谢！
In this case, I know that I don't know much about these binary files and how to work with them in python code (struct?). But I think I'm probably missing a lot of knowledge about binary files in general and I'd like some help understanding how to work with them. Here is a detailed overview of the mobi/palmdoc headers. Thanks!
没问题，好点！您对如何获得使用二进制文件的基本知识有任何提示吗?特定于 Python 的方法会有所帮助，但其他方法也可能有用.
No question, good point! Do you have any tips on how to gain a basic knowledge of working with binary files? Python-specific would be helpful but other approaches could also be useful.

解决方案
你应该从 struct 模块，正如您在问题中指出的那样，当然，将文件作为二进制文件打开.
You should probably start with the struct module, as you pointed to in your question, and of course, open the file as a binary.
基本上，您只需从文件的开头开始，然后将其逐个分开.这是一个麻烦，但不是一个大问题.如果文件被压缩或加密，事情会变得更加困难.如果您从一个您知道其内容的文件开始，这样您就不会一直在猜测，这会很有帮助.
Basically you just start at the beginning of the file and pick it apart piece by piece. It's a hassle, but not a huge problem. If the files are compressed or encrypted, things can get more difficult. It's helpful if you start with a file that you know the contents of so you're not guessing all the time.
尝试一下，也许您会提出更具体的问题.
Try it a bit, and maybe you'll evolve more specific questions.
