Do you teach? Do you Python? The deadline to submit your talk proposal to speak at the Python Education Summit is on January 3rd. More details on the submission process here: http://bit.ly/2hxv4HO We can't wait to hear what works (and what doesn't) in teaching Python, whether you teach in a classroom or teach through the written word. Join us for an awesome day full of Python AND Education with educators from around the world @ the annual Pycon Conference.

Bit shift problem
by Laura Sach Dec. 20, 2016

Dec. 20, 2016

Hi all, I'm working on a resource which reads weather data, and I'm using this code to read data from a BMP180 barometric pressure sensor. https://github.com/lawsie/barometric-sensor The code in the file bmpBackend_py3.py (and the Adafruit I2c/bmp085 files) was originally in Python 2 and I converted it using 2to3. However this has resulted in the bit shifts not working any more in the readPressure() method. This code works in Python 2 but I need the resource to be in Python 3. I've included the Python 2 bmpBackend file too for comparison in case the tool has changed something odd. I predict the problem is to do with the redefinition of the / operator from 2 to 3, but I don't know enough about bit shifting to figure out what to do to resolve it. Would anyone be able to help me to get this working? :) Many thanks, Laura
