# Convert the contents of a file into a C string constant.
# Note that the compiler will implicitly add an extra 0 byte at the end
# of every string, so code using the string may need to remove that to get
# the exact contents of the original file.

# Indexing a byte string yields int on Python 3.x, and a str on Python 2.x
