Hello, I am trying to xor the byte representation of every char in a string with its predecessor. But I don't know how to convert a char into its byte representation. This is to calculate the nmea checksum for gps data.
e.g. everything between $ and * needs to be xor: $GPGSV,3,1,10,06,79,187,39,30,59,098,40,25,51,287,00,05,25,103,44* to get the checksum. Thank you for you help. Phil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
