hexdump(bytes) - produce human readable dump of binary data,
+1 on this basic function, that would be very nice in the stdlib. Now I always need to go and dig up my own function from somewhere. A certain deal of bikeshedding would be required on the function signature however, I'd go with something like: hexdump(data, rowsize=16, offsets=True, ascii=True) Where rowsize is the number of bytes on one row, offsets controls showing the byte number (in hex) of the first byte of each row and ascii controls showing the 7-bit printable characters in a right hand column. This would cover my needs, I'm sure other people will come up with more must-haves. Regards, Floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org
