[Tutor] Defining "bit" type

2009-01-24 Thread Vicent
Hello. As fas as I know, there is a "bytes" type in Python 3, which is a sequence of bytes. Anyway, I am working with Python 2.5.4, and I am interested in defining a new type called "bit" (if possible), which represents a number that can only take values 0 or 1 —that's what we would call a "binar

If your actual interest in defining a bit type is to work with an array of bits, try Ilan Schnell's bitarray module (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bitarray/0.3.4). It uses a compiled extension, so it is quite fast and space-efficient. Ilan gave a presentation on this at the Texas Unconference last
