I don't know Python well, but it does not meant that I don't know it at
all. 
Few minutes ago I took a look into docs and it seems that situation with
writing binary data files with predefined layout is better than what I
was suspecting. They have something called "Buffer Protocol". It allows
to specify layout in declarative manner, similarly to C struct or may
be even to Ada's records with representation clause.
However attempt to read the doc page further down proved that my
suspicion about steepness of the learning curve was not wrong :(
