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

Python has C style bit manipulation operators, so your example is literally the same in Python except without type keywords.

value = 0xdeadbeef
value &= ~(1 << 10)
