I'm dabbling with AVR's for a project I have and that means I have to use C (ageist my will). Because my AVR will be tethered to my laptop, I am writing most of my logic in python, in the hopes of using at little C as possible.
In my quest I came across a need to pass a pair of sign extended two's complement bytes. After painfully reading the wikipedia article on what two's complement was, I then thought of how I would handle this in python. I don't really recall ever having to work in binary with python, so I really am clueless on what to do. I can feed python either two hex bytes or binary, but how do I convert it into an int, and more importantly how do I make sure it handles the sign properly? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
