Value Error: 'embedded null character' when attempting to write decompressed data to a file
The decompression is successful, however when I attempt to write it to the disk I get a ValueError as follows:
error: embedded null character.
I'm using python3, with zlib.
data.seek(offset, 0)
x = zlib.decompress(data.read(compSize))
with open(fName,"wb+") as d:
d.write(x)
How can I write the raw binary data?
I mean it is really simple to do in C. I don't exactly understand why does python try to interpret the bytes in it.

Where didfNamecome from? I suspect that's what actually contains the null character, not the data you're trying to write to the file. (The complete traceback would have made it clear as to where the problem was.)
