|
This module provides an object type which efficiently represents an array of
|
|
booleans. Bitarrays are sequence types and behave very much like usual lists.
|
|
Eight bits are represented by one byte in a contiguous block of memory. The
|
|
user can select between two representations; little-endian and big-endian.
|
|
Most of the functionality is implemented in C. Methods for accessing the
|
|
machine representation are provided. This can be useful when bit level access
|
|
to binary files is required, such as portable bitmap image files (.pbm). Also,
|
|
when dealing with compressed data which uses variable bit length encoding,
|
|
you may find this module useful.
