Bug Fix

I've removed the line:
length = ord(offset[0]) + (ord(offset[1]) << 8)... as it throws a type
error.

This could be changed to ord(data[offset:offset+4][0]) or create a temp
var to parse through, but the original implementation using bytes_to_int
looks cleaner. Once I have some time I'll look at the performance gains
cited in the original fix.
