How do I manipulate bits in Python?

Question

In C I could, for example, zero out bit #10 in a 32 bit unsigned value like so:

unsigned long value = 0xdeadbeef;
value &= ~(1<<10);

Answer 1

Have you tried copying and pasting your code into the Python REPL to see what will happen?

>>> value = 0xdeadbeef
>>> value &= ~(1<<10)
>>> hex (value)
'0xdeadbaef'
