Weird. I've been working on making up a test suite in Perl, and  
ReadFile works fine there (well, at least on OS X).

I'll check Python soon.

Not at the moment. Unfortunately, SWIG doesn't seem to have a good  
way to wrap something like Formatpos. Perhaps for the sake of  
scripting wrappers, we could add to OBConversion to return a list of  
format strings (e.g., as a vector of strings)?

I'm assuming that would work for you Noel, yes?
