New submission from Shaddy Baddah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I note that using the struct module, a user can specify if number items of the format are to be interpreted as either big or small endian. However the format specifier can only accept one indicator character at its first character to apply for all number items in it. e.g:
"<HI" specifies that both the unsigned short and unsigned int are to be interpreted as little endian values. It would be nice to be able to instead do "<>HI" where the first '<' character indicates the default endianess (for compatibility purposes) and then the second '>' character indicates that the unsigned short should be interpreted as big endian. The unsigned int defaults to small endian as per the first character. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 76726 nosy: da4an1qu1 severity: normal status: open title: struct: per item endianess specification type: feature request versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4484> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
