Dear friends, I am currently porting a fortran program to Python but am stuck on the intrinsic IBITS function.
Does anyone know about a replacement function for IBITS in Python? Yours, Carl >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IBITS(I, POS, LEN) Extracts a sequence of bits. I must be of type integer. POS must be of type integer. It must be nonnegative and POS + LEN must be less than or equal to BIT_SIZE (I). LEN must be of type integer and nonnegative. Class Elemental function Result Type and Attributes Same as I. Result Value The result has the value of the sequence of LEN bits in I beginning at bit POS, right-adjusted and with all other bits zero. The bits are numbered from 0 to BIT_SIZE(I)-1, from right to left. Examples IBITS (14, 1, 3) has the value 7. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
