Hi Michael, It all looks pretty god but there is a couple of things I still don't understand, 1) in Steve's solution (which seems equivalent to your own), he does the masking, shifts by seven, and then sums the two numbers while you, instead of summing, use a logical or. How can these operations be equivalent? or are they? Is the logical or equivalent to a concatenation? 2) why 7? why do we have shift 7 bits? is that so the 8th bit on byte one is aligned with the first bit on the second byte? thanks: -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
