Whether "structure" concept is available

[psbasha]

Hi,

Whether we have "structure" concept available.I have to create a different datatypes to be stored.

Say in C/C++ we use

struct Point{

int PntID;
double xCoord;
double yCoord
double zCoord
bool bFlag;
};

Similarly in Python without using "class" / list definition,is it psosible to store/access the different datatypes

Thanks

ONLY IF you must pass this structure to a function written in C, you can use the ctypes module and subclass ctypes.Structure().

OTHERWISE use a class.

In version 2.4 and 2.5 there's also this:
4.3 struct -- Interpret strings as packed binary data
in the Python Library Reference.
