How can I handle low-level data types in Python? What I want to do is writing an interface to a C daemon which waits for stuff like unsigned ints on a socket. For example, I need to craft and decode data structures that look like this:
32-bit unsigned int MSG_LENGTH 32-bit unsigned int MSG_CODE 64-bit signed int DATA 32-bit length + utf-8 characters STRING_DATA etc. What's the right way to do this in Python? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
