It seems like this would be easy but I'm drawing a blank. What I want to do is be able to open any file in binary mode, and read in one byte (8 bits) at a time and then count the number of 1 bits in that byte.
I got as far as this but it is giving me strings and I'm not sure how
to accurately get to the byte/bit level.
f1=file('somefile','rb')
while 1:
abyte=f1.read(1)
Thanks in advance for any help.
