Unless I missed something, this is a simple string replacement:
''.join(packet) .replace('01110 ', '0111001111')

If Packet consists of '0's and '1's, then it may be
easier to convert to, or base the class on str (strings):
packet = "10101011110111 00111010001"
print "BEFORE ", packet
li = packet.split("0 1110")
packet = "0111001111".jo in(li)
print "AFTER ", packet

Steven, George,
Thanks for your responses. Yea, that would work.
My original question still stands, though, in situations where a
simple string replacement might not be sufficient. Is there a way to
insert into a list whilst iterating through it?
for example, consider a list of binary values.
for index in range(len(itera ble)):
item=iterable[index]
if item==1:
iterable.insert (index,0)
obv this wouldn't work because now all future indexes will be off by
the number of previously inserted items.
using a while loop to fix this ugly and counterintuitiv e.

Inserting/deleting from a list while you're walking through it is *always*
tricky, by its very nature.
Deletions are easy to deal with: iterate over the list backwards. When
you delete the current item, the only items that are re-numbered are items
you've already looked at.
Similarly, if you iterate backwards over the list and make sure you only
insert after the current item, never before, you can avoid re-numbering
items you haven't looked at yet.
Another solution is to iterate over the list, creating a new list as you
go:
new = []
for item in some_list:
if condition:
# delete the item
pass
elif other_condition :
# insert something
new.extend(['something', item])
else:
new.append(item )
for example, consider a list of binary values.
for index in range(len(itera ble)):
item=iterable[index]
The Pythonic way to write that is
for index,item in enumerate(itera ble):
pass
if item==1:
iterable.insert (index,0)
"Iterables" are sequences and iterators -- anything you can iterate over.
In general, only sequences can be inserted into (and not even all
sequences).
obv this wouldn't work because now all future indexes will be off by the
number of previously inserted items.

Well, if you insist on doing a tricky job, you're always going to have
tricky code. Here's one solution:
# inserting into a mutable sequence
sequence.revers e()
for index in range(len(seque nce)-1, -1, -1):
item = sequence[index]
if item == 1:
sequence.insert (index+1, 0)
sequence.revers e()
Here's a solution that should work for any iterable, provided you have
sufficient memory:
# inserting into a copy of iterable
copy = []
for item in iterable:
if item == 1:
copy.append(0)
copy.append(ite m)
Hope this helps.

While iterating through a list I'd like to know not just the current element,

Hi guys,
Say I made a SELECT statement to my sql DB that would return 50 rows
that I will use a sqldatareader to access. Instead of iterating through
each and every row of the datareader, I'd like to just iterate through,
say, rows 20 through 30.
How can one do this?

Hi all,
Just a quick question. I have a class that exposes a number of fields (which
are themselves custom types) through public properties.
At run time, I have an object whom I'd like to check, is of same type as one
of these fields.
Is there a method or technique for iterating through a class's public
properties, such as maybe using something from the reflection namespace?
