Hi! Please help with the problem:
send over TCPIP data packet organized as 6 bytes of identifier,
integer (LSB) and length of following binary data, binary data
the clear part: create socket, connect it, use send, close socket
the unclear part: create string with required data to use with send
what I tried:
buffer = [for i in range(23)];
buffer[0:5]="BBBBBB"
command = 0
buffer[6:9] = (command >> i & 255 for i in range(0,32,)
datalength = 10
buffer[10:13] = (datalength >> i & 255 for i in range(0,32,)
here i surrendered since buffer is a list of int and i need string ...
Suggestions are appreciated! boris

You probably want to take a look at the "struct" module to pack your
byte-strings with binary data.
