Can Python not express the idea of a three-byte int?
For instance, in the working example below, can we somehow collapse the
three calls of struct.pack into one?
I ask because I'm trying to refactor working code that is concise:
Thanks in advance, Pat LaVarre

import struct
skip = 0x123456 ; count = 0x80
cdb = ''
cdb += struct.pack('>B', 0x08)
cdb += struct.pack('>I', skip)[-3:]
cdb += struct.pack('>BB', count, 0)
print ' '.join(['%02X' % ord(xx) for xx in cdb]) 08 12 34 56 80 00
I ask because I'm trying to refactor working code that is concise:
cdb0 = '\x08' '\x12\x34\x56' '\x80' '\0'
print ' '.join(['%02X' % ord(xx) for xx in cdb0]) 08 12 34 56 80 00
