Which probably should have

The struct modul

indeed, i used to have temp = unpack('h', tBuf[1,3])
but it was a hack (and as such a bit off ;) as i was having troubles
casting
not quite use

wow, thank you - works perfectly !
and much more elegant than what i was up to.
thanks again...

hello all
i am relatively new to python, catching on, but getting stuck on
simple thing:
i have two string bytes i need to push into a single (short) int, like
so in c:
temp = strBuf[2];
temp = (temp<<7)+(strBuf[1]);
c code works, but having trouble getting python to perform same
functio
