I am trying to follow some code. It is basically a python scratch interfacing script.
Anyway part of the script has this code. Searching google for >> greater than signs in code with python has its issues. Can anyone clarify this stuff. I know its about 4 bytes of data. It looks like its setting all bits HIGH to me? n = len(cmd) a = array('c') a.append(chr((n>> 24) & 0xFF)) a.append(chr((n>> 16) & 0xFF)) a.append(chr((n>> 8) & 0xFF)) a.append(chr(n & 0xFF)) More code for context for python version 2.7: from array import array import socket import time import sys from Tkinter import Tk from tkSimpleDialog import askstring root = Tk() root.withdraw() PORT = 42001 HOST = askstring('Scratch Connector', 'IP:') if not HOST: sys.exit() print("Connecting...") scratchSock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) scratchSock.connect((HOST, PORT)) print("Connected!") def sendScratchCommand(cmd): n = len(cmd) a = array('c') a.append(chr((n>> 24) & 0xFF)) a.append(chr((n>> 16) & 0xFF)) a.append(chr((n>> 8) & 0xFF)) a.append(chr(n & 0xFF)) scratchSock.send(a.tostring() + cmd) while True: msg = askstring('Scratch Connector', 'Send Broadcast:') if msg: sendScratchCommand('broadcast "' + msg + '"') Another for Python 3: import socket HOST = 'localhost' PORT = 42001 s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((HOST, PORT)) def sendCMD(cmd): n = len(cmd) a = [] a.append((n>> 24) & 0xFF) a.append((n>> 16) & 0xFF) a.append((n>> 8) & 0xFF) a.append(n & 0xFF) b = '' for i in list(range(len(a))): b += a[i] s.send(bytes(b+cmd,'UTF-8')) sendCMD('broadcast"hello"') _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
