thanks for any tips on this.
I'll try.In BCD a (decimal) digit is stored in a halfbyte (or a 'nibble'). So, in a byte
you can store two decimal digits. For instance 42 would be nibble1 nibble2 0100 0010 4 2 >>> c=0b01000010 >>> c 66 >>> c >> 4 # first nibble 4 >>> c & 0b1111 # second nibble 2 So, a speed of 57% should be LSB= 0111 0000 MSB= 0000 0101 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
