Bitarrays are sequence types and behave very much like usual lists. +Eight bits are represented by one byte in a contiguous block of memory. The +user can select between two representations; little-endian and big-endian. +Most of the functionality is implemented in C. Methods for accessing the +machine representation are provided. This can be useful when bit level access +to binary files is required, such as portable bitmap image files (.pbm). Also, +when dealing with compressed data which uses variable bit length encoding, +you may find this module useful. +</longdescription> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="pypi">bitarray</remote-id> + <remote-id type="github">ilanschnell/bitarray</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
