lo there all, i am reading a binary file with open('myfile', 'rb')
then i do a read(1) to read one byte. cool so far. but how do i read the individual bits of a byte i mean if i have a = read(1) how do i know what the msb of a is ? i need to know because i have to see if the msb is set and i also need to know the value of the next bit. any tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks
