Module DataTypeConverters

Functions

getNibbles(byte)
Returns hi and lo bits in a byte as a tuple >>> getNibbles(142) (8, 14)

source code

setNibbles(hiNibble, loNibble)
Returns byte with value set according to hi and lo bits Asserts hiNibble and loNibble in range(16) >>> setNibbles(8, 14) 142

source code

readBew(value)
Reads string as big endian word, (asserts len(value) in [1,2,4]) >>> readBew('aáâã') 1642193635L >>> readBew('aá') 25057

source code

writeBew(value, length)
Write int as big endian formatted string, (asserts length in [1,2,4]) Difficult to print the result in doctest, so I do a simple roundabout test. >>> readBew(writeBew(25057, 2)) 25057 >>> readBew(writeBew(1642193635L, 4)) 1642193635L

source code

readVar(value)
Converts varlength format to integer. Just pass it 0 or more chars that might be a varlen and it will only use the relevant chars. use varLen(readVar(value)) to see how many bytes the integer value takes. asserts len(value) >= 0 >>> readVar('€@') 64 >>> readVar('áâãa') 205042145

source code

varLen(value)
Returns the the number of bytes an integer will be when converted to varlength

source code

writeVar(value)
Converts an integer to varlength format

source code

to_n_bits(value, length=1, nbits=7)
returns the integer value as a sequence of nbits bytes

source code

toBytes(value)
Turns a string into a list of byte values

source code

fromBytes(value)
Turns a list of bytes into a string

source code

getNibbles(byte)

source code


Returns hi and lo bits in a byte as a tuple
>>> getNibbles(142)
(8, 14)

Asserts byte value in byte range
>>> getNibbles(256)
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: Byte value out of range 0-255: 256
