read string in bits
hi, is there a way to read a character/string into bits in python? i understand that character is read in bytes. Do i have to write a function to convert it myself into 1010101 or there is a library in python that enable me to do that? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

But only python 2.4 is available to me. Is there a replacement of bin() in python 2.4? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python code change
Im trying to run a Python application but im stuck on a problem. The application requires a log in and password to run the application. The only problem that I'm having is that the code was written to connect to a data base and from there it sees the username and password that is linked to the data base. The file application was in .pyc, I already uncompyled to py. I was wondering if there is any way that I can change the code to where the log in and username are in the code and not in the database with the same outcome of course. I can send you the code if that'll be helpful? Thank you. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Prevent Modification of Script?
Is it possible to prevent modification of a python file once its been deployed? File permissions of the OS could be used..but that doesn't seem very secure. The root of my question is verifying the integrity of the application and the scripts being run. Is this possible, if so, how? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Michael, Ben & others: The short answer is others on a shared system, or malware that could modify the scripts. I'm new to python programming and there are just some paradigms I'm having trouble grasping. If the scripts can be modified (very easily), how can the application be trusted? i.e. If its an address book, then it would be trivial for malware to modify the script to override data or send it somewhere else... It would also seem like it makes user authentication through a password/ username, or encryption useless. The script could easily be modified to by-pass authentication and encryption could be disabled. Please correct any wrong assumptions that I might be making.. In a compiled application its not impossible to by pass the code.. but its not so easy. Perhaps this is just a side-effect of being a scripted language - not a flaw, just me trying to use it for something its not well suited for. - Kiel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
