I have a function that computes the checksum of an integer, including or
excluding digits in the computation based on the content of a mask string. For
example,
cksum(123456789, '***...***')
will do its computation on 123789, masking out the three non-significant
digits.

What is the purpose of the dictionary method setdefault(k[, x])?
For example assume the following dictionary:

>>> 'white':(255,255,255), 'black':(0,0,0)}

Now, execute the statement:
>>> colors.setdefault('black

This is a fairly long-winded question. I beg your indulgence.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that it is possible to concurrently
generate the index and value of a string’s characters in a single for
statement. Is this true or did imagine it?

My UDP client is receiving responses from the server, and now I need to
process them. A typical response string looks like this:

The tuple represents the error code and message. If the command had failed,
the response would look like this
