Re: receive bytes streams

The function "unpack" is not a built-in function. Does your code import some module at the top?

Re: subscript and superscript help!

Good news: the convention for scientific notation

2.72e-2 (which is the correct rendering)

Re: Memory Error

WRT to the main problem, the memory error, I agree that there's something wrong, and it doesn't appear to be your code.

Re: Memory Error

Well, a quick tangential note: your method for extracting the extension

name[-4:]

is buggy. What if the file extension is ".jpeg"?

Better:
