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

a = int('00001111', 2)
b = int('11110000', 2)
bin(a & b)[2:].zfill(8)
bin(a | b)[2:].zfill(8)
bin(a << 2)[2:].zfill(8)
bin(a >> 2)[2:].zfill(8)
bin(a ^ b)[2:].zfill(8)
int(bin(a | b)[2:].zfill(8), 2)
