Ensure a variable is divisible by 4

I am sure this is a basic math issue, but is there a better way to ensure an int variable is divisible by 4 than by doing the following; x = 111 x = (x /4) * 4 Just seems a bit clunky to me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hope someone can steer me in the right direction. I am trying to use python to collect the values from a Win32 application's control. I can successfull query an retreive the values ListBox, Edit and Buttons, however, the application uses a control called a 'SysListView32' Control. MSDN says that

Frank; I would just like to thank-you for this timely post. I am working on a reporting project that needed "groupby" functionality and I was going to sit down this morning to rework some "very ugly code" into some "not quite so ugly code". Your post got me pointed to in the "right" direction and

Well, thank-you again. It's a bit embarassing, but you are correct ... It was a typo on in the sample data. A bit frustrated with myself as I checked, and double checked, but I guess became a bit blinded to the problem. Sorry to waste your time, and appreciate your assistance and patience. Geoff

Converting from Microsoft Binary Format floats to Python Float

In the '80's, Microsoft had a proprietary binary structure to handle floating point numbers, In a previous thread, Bengt Richter posted some example code in how to convert these to python floats; http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/42150ccc20a1d8d5/4aadc71be8aeddb

Re: Anyone recognize this numeric storage format - similar to "float", but not quite

I am not sure if you are still watching this thread, but I seem to have a bit of a problem with the code sample you so graciously provided. It seems to work in all instances, except the original example I provided (namely, 1234567890). On my system, the number 1234567890, gets converted to 12345678

We are working on a project to decipher a record structure of an old accounting system that originates from the late80's mid-90's.

Thanks so much for this. It is exactly what I was looking for. If I am simply reading the bytes from disk, would I still need to convert the these values HEX characters first with Hexlify, or is there a more direct route ? ie. convert them to the double float directly from the byte values ? --
