Manipulating bitsets in struct

[Allen]

I'm using Python to do some simple network programming, and found the 
struct module very useful for such things, but is there a way to easily 
manipulate bitsets such as a 16 bit word being split into 4 parts like 2 
bits, 1 bit, 4 bits, and 9 bits?

Perhaps something like:
struct.pack('!h(2:1:4:9)',2,0,1,100)
