This is a reasonable place to ask specific python questions. The algorithm description itself is pretty confusing though, and it seems to address a problem that doesn't particularly seem to need a solution. It's pretty typical for applications needing compact representations to encode smallish variable-length integers in the VInt format, basically using 7 bits from each byte for data, and the 8th bit as a terminator flag. So VInt encodes numbers 0-127 in one byte, 128 to 16383 in 2 bytes, etc. Bignum applications generally use a length cell and a data array. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
