For context I am trying to consume a streamed response from a soap API, which should output a CSV file. The response outputs a string coded in base 64, which I must write into the CSV file.
The api documentation says that the response must be read to a destination buffer-by-buffer, but I am unfamiliar with c# so I am unsure on how to replicate byte and write in the correct context to do so.
Here is the the code I am trying to replicate. The code was provided by the api's documentation:
byte[] buffer = new byte[4000];
bool endOfStream = false;
int bytesRead = 0;
using (FileStream localFileStream = new FileStream(destinationPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
using (Stream remoteStream = client.DownloadFile(jobId, chkFormatAsXml.Unchecked))
{
while (!endOfStream)
{
bytesRead = remoteStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (bytesRead > 0)
{
localFileStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
totalBytes += bytesRead;
}
else
{
endOfStream = true;
}
}
}
}
My current python code looks like this:
buffer = ???
bytesread = 0
with open('csvfile.csv','w') as file:
#opens Pickle file
with (open("data2.pkl", 'r+b')) as openfile:
print openfile
bytesread = len(openfile.read(4000))
if bytesread > 0:
?????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it is just to point me in the right direction. I have also had a few questions referencing this same problem.

UPDATE:
My code now looks like:
import shutil
with (open("data2.pkl", 'r')) as pklfile:
with open('csvfile4.csv', 'wb') as csvfile:
file.write(shutil.copyfileobj(pklfile,csvfile, 4000)
Unforunately, this just writes the base64 code literally to the csv file, and i'm not sure how to decode properly
