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 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 usefu
