struct.Struct lets you encode Python objects into structured memory. It accepts a format string, and optionally a buffer and offset to/from which to read/write the structure. What do you think of random access for the results?
(unproduced) >>> packer= struct.Struct( 'IIIf255p' ) >>> packer.pack_into( buf, off, 10, 20, 30, 0.5, 'abc' ) >>> packer.unpack_from( buf, off, 2 ) #reads field 2 30 Does this take a PEP, or just a patch submission? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
