All the examples and libraries (Python mostly) that I can find for
doing IO to the GPIO pins seem to handle only a bit at a time.  This
is fine for things like driving relays and LEDs but makes little sense
for 8-bit data.

Are there any sets of 8 GPIO pins that can be used together easily for
outputting 8-bit data?  ... and are there any Python IO libraries that
make doing this easy?

At present my Python code is carefully masking, shifting and
outputting the data bit by bit and I have a horrible suspicion that
the library I'm using is carefully doing the opposite before it does
the actual write to GPIO. :-)
