Members

float_to_raw_bytes	Converts an floating point number to an unsigned set of bytes.
int_to_raw_bytes	Converts an integer to an unsigned set of bytes with the specified length (represented as a string).
raw_bytes_to_float	Convert a set of bytes to a floating point number
raw_bytes_to_int	Converts an unsigned set of bytes to an integer.

lewis.utils.byte_conversions.float_to_raw_bytes(real_number: float, low_byte_first: bool = True) → bytes

Converts an floating point number to an unsigned set of bytes.

Parameters:

• real_number – The float to convert.

• low_byte_first – Whether to put the least significant byte first. True by default.

Returns:

A string representation of the bytes.

lewis.utils.byte_conversions.int_to_raw_bytes(integer: int, length: int, low_byte_first: bool) → bytes

Converts an integer to an unsigned set of bytes with the specified length (represented as a string). Unless the integer is negative in which case it converts to a signed integer.

If low byte first is True, the least significant byte comes first, otherwise the most significant byte comes first.

Parameters:

• integer – The integer to convert.

• length – The length of the result.

• low_byte_first – Whether to put the least significant byte first.

Returns:

string representation of the bytes.

lewis.utils.byte_conversions.raw_bytes_to_float(raw_bytes: bytes) → float

Convert a set of bytes to a floating point number

Parameters:

raw_bytes – A string representation of the raw bytes.

Returns:

float: The floating point number represented by the given bytes.

lewis.utils.byte_conversions.raw_bytes_to_int(raw_bytes: bytes, low_bytes_first: bool = True) → int

Converts an unsigned set of bytes to an integer.

Parameters:

• raw_bytes – A string representation of the raw bytes.

• low_bytes_first – Whether the given raw bytes are in little endian or not. True by default.

Returns:

The integer represented by the raw bytes passed in.
