title: Reading a serialized binary file generated by CArchive MFC in Python
body: <p>I have binary files generated from serialized C++ objects using MFC CArchive. I want to write Python code to read these binary files. </p>
  
  <p>What is an equivalent function or class in Python or pyqt that can read snd deserialized files?</p>
  
  <p>I have looked at the QT <code>QDataStream</code> class but I dont know if it is similar to CArchive. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks </p>
