You will be better off in the long run if you try to solve these minor
questions yourself.
Break the problem down:
First step: *split* the destAddress into 6 strings
Second step: convert the strings to *long* integer, remembering to use
base 16 arithmetic
Third step: use the resulting 6-element list when creating "data".
Why do you think you need array.array('L', ....)? What are you going to
do with "data" after filling it with the address?
