Thanks for your reply. i need to do this in python because python is what scripting language our data I/O system is written in. i am writing a command out over a serial port that tells an RTU to change part of it's program. I am not sure what you mean by using it in any other python context, this is about the only thing we will need to be able to do this for, at least, that is the case for right now. thanks sk
