Subject: Reading binary data with String or StringIO?

I need to read a binary string into memory and parse it using methods 
similar to Java's DataInputStream 
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/DataInputStream.html)

I stumbled upon StringIO which I think is the closet thing to what I 
need? Anyone know of any good documentation for using StringIO, or 
dealing with binary data and parsing in general?

Many thanks in advance, hope someone can shed some light...
