* Package name : python-bitarray Version : 0.3.5 Upstream Author : Ilan Schnell <ilanschn...@gmail.com> * URL : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bitarray/ * License : Python Software Foundation License Programming Lang: Python, C Description : module for efficient boolean array handling This module provides an object type which efficiently represents an array of booleans. Bitarrays are sequence types and behave very much like usual lists. Eight bits are represented by one byte in contiguous block of memory. The user can select between two representations; little-endian and big-endian. Most of the functionality is implemented in C. Methods for accessing the machine representation are provided. This can be useful when bit level access to binary files is required, such as portable bitmap image files (.pbm). Also, when dealing with compressed data which uses variable bit length encoding, you may find this module useful. I intend to package this module because it is needed as dependency for rapid-spring (ITP: #593330). -- Jan Dittberner - Debian Developer GPG-key: 4096R/558FB8DD 2009-05-10 B2FF 1D95 CE8F 7A22 DF4C F09B A73E 0055 558F B8DD http://ddportfolio.debian.net/ - http://people.debian.org/~jandd/
