Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to represent a number as a list of bits: for example the bit representation of the integer 8. I did find a number of articles pertaining to a module called bitarray but I was unable to download/install that package. I am using Linux on Ubuntu 9.10; Python 2.6.2. <BR>
<BR>
I am almost certain there is a relatively easy way to convert an integer that can be represented by 32 bits into an array of bits that I can iterate over looking for switched on bits or switched off bits. <BR>
<BR>
Any information such as recipes or past articles in this list providing methods to create and manipulate bit arrays would be most appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
