consider the following working loop where Packet is a subclass of list, with Packet.insert(index, iterable) inserting each item in iterable into Packet at consecutive indexes starting at index.
i=0 while(i<len(packet)-4): if packet[i:i+5]==Packet("01110"): packet.insert(i, "01111") i+=10 #skip the 5 bits inserted, and skip the 5 bits just checked bc overlap should not trigger insertion else: i+=1 is there a way to do this more elegantly? seems like a big kludge. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
