Create a backslash-escaped version of a string?
Hello, I'd like to have control characters in a string to be converted to their backslash-escaped counterparts.

ctypes Structure serialization
I'm not quite familiar with python serialization but the picle module, at least, doesn't seem to be able to serialize a ctypes Structure with array-fields. Even if it was, the ASCII file produced is not in a human-friendly format. Could someone please suggest a method of saving and loading the fields in ctypes' ... 9 Feb 2010 00:45
