Probably a bit too early in your "Python career", but you can read raw data
with numpy. Something like
with open(filename, "rb") as f:
a = numpy.fromfile(f, dtype=[
("distance", "f16"),
("iterations", "i2"),
("zc_x", "i2"),
("zc_y", "i2"),
]).reshape(1778, 1000)
might do, assuming "extended double" takes 16 bytes.
