Read file, not same result on windows or linux

I have the same code, I run it on a raspberry and on win7, and I can't have the same result

The code:

with open('file','rb') as fd:
    ttt = fd.read(4)
    print (ttt)
    seed = unpack('>I', fd.read(4))[0]
    print str(seed)

On linux I have the good result.

b')M7\xeb'
692926443

But on windows, I have

>M7ù
1401564715

Why this difference ? Why on linux I have more than 4 char ?

Edit: I have finaly find a way to have same result.

import codecs
with codecs.open("G:/InsideReCaptcha-master/enc", mode='rb') as fd:
    ttt = fd.read(4)
    seed = unpack('>I', ttt)[0]

Not sure all the code is usefull, but it works.

The Linux output is the binary string representation, which is why it is shown as b'[STRING]'. The accented character is shown as an escaped ASCII alternative. The Windows output is the actual string representation. To make them the same, use decode:

print b'a string'.decode('ascii')
