Hey all,

Quick question for you Python enthusiasts that also
happen to know Perl quite well...

What does a* or A* translate to in Python when unpacking
binary data with struct.unpack(...) ?

cheers
James

Fine I"ll answer my own question.

Python _does not_ support implicit size
in struct formatting rules. sizes are explicit
meaning that you must "compute" the size
you require.

a* or A* would translate to 10s for example
where you want a string with a size of 10.

cheers
James
