Trouble converting hex to decimal?

I'm trying to process the IP packet length field, as recorded by pcap (Ethereal) and recovered using pcapy. When I slice out those bytes, I get a value that shows in '\x00' format, rather than '0x00'. Neither int() nor eval() are working. How do I handle thi

Can't get pcap file scanner to terminate normally

I'm using pcapy to scan a packet capture file. I've tried a variety of tests to end the loop at EOF, but can't seem to avoid the program terminating with a pcapy.PcapError. I've tested for empty lists (while Raw == [] or Passed == []:) and strings (while Raw ==""] or Passed == "":) as well as the

SOLVED: passing lists

It turns out that the function call was passing arguments in a different order than they were being received. Thanks, everyone, for your help. earl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

There's GOT to be a better way!

I'm writing my first program where I call custom modules. The 'global' command doesn't seem to apply, so how do I change a variable internally in a module without passing it down n layers, and then back out again? Earl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
