Other than the tedious anding, oring and shifting, you can convert
your byte to a string (with function bin) and use normal string
handling functions to check if individual bits are 0 or 1. 

String format is also handy if you happen to need to do things like
reversing the bit order or slicing and joining together various bits
from different bytes.

I seem to invariably need to do some bit order reversing when I mess
around with serial data, which is one reason why I like Python.
