Hello: For some reason I can't figure out how to split a 4-byte (for instance) float number (such as 3.14159265359) into its 4-bytes so I can send it via a socket to another computer. For integers, it is easy, I can get the 4 bytes by anding like: byte1 = int_val & 0x000000FF byte2 = int_val & 0x0000FF00 byte3 = int_val & 0x00FF0000 byte4 = int_val & 0xFF000000 But if I try to do that with floats I get: >>> pi & 0xFF Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'float' and 'int'
Is there some easy way to get what the bytes of the float are? Thanks in advance: Michael Yanowitz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
