and 8 + 12 + 12 = 32 :-)
Assuming little-endianess and that all 3 items are unsigned:
>>> import struct
>>> bytes = "\x21\x43\xba\xdc"
>>> i32 = struct.unpack("<I", bytes)[0]
>>> hex(i32)
'0xdcba4321L'
>>> fields = map(int, (i32 & 0xff, (i32 >> 8) & 0xfff, i32 >> 20))
>>> fields
[33, 2627, 3531]
>>> map(hex, fields)
['0x21', '0xa43', '0xdcb']
>>>
