ASCII characters in my hex output

[nuvodido]

I am using pyserial to work with a device on my serial port. the
output is a mixture of ASCII and hex:

Ex. '\x10\x00*'
I need conver the \x00* nuber in to decimal. Is there way to
convter this value striat forward?
Thanks in advance

You're not being specific enough. Here are some things to look at:

Pyserial for your serial port-ing needs.

Struct module for C-structs. Array module for homogenous binary data.

Have a look also at ctypes and xstruct (both external modules).

chr() and ord() builtins; shift and binary arithmetic operators.

I suspect what you are asking is something like:

struct.unpack('=bh', '\x10\x00*') -> (16, 10752)

But again, how can I know?

Kelia,

Google,
" binascii.hexlify "

at

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...mp.lang.python
If your converting a Basic program, I did the same and you can
find it by googling 'Eurotherm'.
