Throwing an exception for values of length less than 100 doesn't seem
terribly good. Did you mean "%04d"?
Personally I think I'd split the number up before round-tripping through
the string. Maybe:
def bcdbyte(b):
return chr(int(str(b), 16))
def bcdlen(length):
return bcdbyte(length%100) + bcdbyte(length//100)
