Answer 1

To operate on binary data you can use the array-module. Below you will find an iterator that operates on 4096 chunks of data instead of reading everything into memory at ounce.

import array

def bytesfromfile(f):
    while True:
        raw = array.array('B')
        raw.fromstring(f.read(4096))
        if not raw:
            break
        yield raw

with open("image.jpg", 'rb') as fd
    for byte in bytesfromfile(fd):
        for b in byte:
            # do something with b
