Yes, you can read the bits by reading bytes and applying bitmasks and bitwise operations. You can get the bytes using the struct module (explained in the File Handling topic of my tutor) and using bitmasks with bitwise operators to extract bits is covered in the Operating System topic of same. -- Alan G Author of the learn to program web tutor http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld
