Of course. The struct and array modules can help you with this. Note that you have to know how big each variable should be. For example, if you want to sent 1, 2, and 3 out as bytes, you can do: a = 1 b = 2 c = 3 serial = struct.pack( 'BBB', a, b, c ) If you need them as 16-bit ints, you can use H instead of B. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
