using Vista, Python 3.1: >>> import os >>> os.urandom(6) b'\xd1\xfc\xb0\x14\xeaL' So what is this output? What in ascii? What in hex? Do those questions even make sense? I've tried 2 things to get at it: >>> import binascii >>> binascii.b2a_qp(b'\xd1\xfc\xb0\x14\xeaL') b'=D1=FC=B0=14=EAL' >>> binascii.b2a_hex(b'\xd1\xfc\xb0\x14\xeaL') b'd1fcb014ea4c' Help, please. Dick Moores >>> import binascii >>> binascii.b2a_qp(b'\x05\x8aU\x92\xf3R') b'=05=8AU=92=F3R' >>> binascii.b2a_hex(b'\x05\x8aU\x92\xf3R') b'058a5592f352' _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
