Byte Array in Python

Question

How can I represent a byte array (like in Java with byte[]) in Python? I\'ll need to send it over the wire with gevent.

byte key[] = {0x13, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,         


        

Answer 1

An alternative that also has the added benefit of easily logging its output:

hexs = "13 00 00 00 08 00"
logging.debug(hexs)
key = bytearray.fromhex(hexs)

allows you to do easy substitutions like so:

hexs = "13 00 00 00 08 {:02X}".format(someByte)
logging.debug(hexs)
key = bytearray.fromhex(hexs)
