[Tutor] bitwise manipulation

[Tim Johnson]

Hello Snake Charmers:

I'm designing a database and am thinking about how to store a number
number of boolean values in one field.

Are there any python resources available that can make setting/unsetting 
bits directly? I used to do that in "C" with preprocessor macros that
made calls like set_bit(vInteger,bit_position) 
and unset_bit(vInteger,bit_position). 

Thanks
tim
