strings in Python (newbie)

[zif]

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies. I've just started to learn Python,
and my first exercise would be to rewrite some old
command prompt C code wrote for socket communication
with GE Electric industrial controllers (PLCs).

They require 56 byte stream data (yes Tim, you are right,
this is not a string), and I was able to send and receive
streams using binascii.a2b_hex() and binascii.b2a_hex()
functions. The code is very ugly, but it works.

Further comments will be appreciated.

Regards,
zif
