BitVector read-from-file Question

2008-03-10 Thread Michael Wieher
I'm trying to read in data from large binary files using BitVector (thanks btw, for whoever mentioned it on the list, its nice) I'll be reading the data in as requested by the user, in (relatively) small chunks as needed. Problem is I can't read the whole file in at once (its rid

BitVector

2008-03-09 Thread DanielJohnson
Hi, I am trying to solve a genetic algorithm problem where I want to read a bitvector of very large size (say 1) and manipulate bits based on certain algorithms. I am a newbie in Python. What data structure are good to read such huge data set. Are there any built in classes for bit fiddling
