write unsigned integer 32 bits to socket

[rkmr.em]

hi
i want to send unsigned 32 bit integer to socket, and looking for
something equivalent to this method...

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/lan...teUnsignedInt()

is there such method / library available in python?!
this is as far as i have gotten along

>>s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('127.0.0.1',3000))

You will need to use struct module to build the 4 byte value and then send it.

Something like (not tested):

import struct
us32bit = struct.pack("I", value)
s.send(us32bit)

thanks a lot!!!

just to make sure if I want 32 bit or 4 bytes then should I use the
short or integer or long?

this is short

>>struct.pack('!h',3)

'\x00\x03'

this is integer

>>struct.pack('!i',3)

'\x00\x00\x00\x03'

this is long

>>struct.pack('!l',3)

'\x00\x00\x00\x03'

Short is 16 bits, Integer is 32 bits, long is 64 bits (as I read and have found).

Short is 16 bits, Integer is 32 bits, long is 64 bits (as I read and have
found).

thanks a lot!!! re-read it again!!!

from the struct doc!
Standard size and alignment are as follows: no alignment is required
for any type (so you have to use pad bytes); short is 2 bytes; int and
long are 4 bytes; long long (__int64 on Windows) is 8 bytes; float and
double are 32-bit and 64-bit IEEE floating point numbers,
respectively.
