i have an interesting project at work going on. here is the challenge. i am using the serial module to read data from a serial input. it comes in as a hex. i need to make it a binary and compare it bit by bit to another byte. They have some weird way they set this up that i have to compare these things with AND. in other words, if bit 1 is 1 AND bit 1 is 1 then the real value is 1...
long story short. is there a good way to compare bytes, bit by bit with one of the modules of python. i want to know so i dont get halfway into developing this and find that there is a much better way to do this than by hand. thanks for any suggestions. sk <>< -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
