What you'll learn
In this course, Core Python 3: Byte Oriented Programming, you’ll learn to work with binary data in Python using its byte-oriented facilities. First, you’ll explore bit- and byte- oriented operations on integers. Next, you’ll discover the core byte-sequence types. Finally, you’ll learn how to work with binary data structures and use various Python tools to do so efficiently. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of byte-oriented programming in Python needed to work with binary structures, interact with low-level memory blocks, and manipulate byte-oriented data.
