Python Convert Bytearray to Numbers in List
For the Following Python Codes: Pt = Bytearray. Fromhex('32 43 F6 A8 88 5A 30 8D 31 31 98 A2 E0 37 07 34') State = Bytearray(Pt) If I Use: Print State It Gives...
For the following python codes:
pt = bytearray.fromhex('32 43 f6 a8 88 5a 30 8d 31 31 98 a2 e0 37 07 34')
state = bytearray(pt)
If I use:
print state
It gives out 2Cö¨ˆZ0?11˜¢à74
Then how to recover the content in the bytearray? For example, to put them in a list like [].

You can convert between a bytearray and list using the python built in functions of the same name.
>>> x=[0,1,2,3,4] # create a list
>>> print x
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> y = bytearray(x) # convert the list to a bytearray
>>> print y
(garbled binary) <-- prints UGLY!
>>> z = list(y) # convert the bytearray back into a list
>>> print z
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
Indexing a bytearray results in unsigned bytes.
>>> pt[0]
50
>>> pt[5]
90
You can make your own method with simple string methods:
string = '32 43 f6 a8 88 5a 30 8d 31 31 98 a2 e0 37 07 34'
number = [int(i, 16) for i in string.split()]
Now you have a list of the converted numbers as you wanted.
I was looking for an answer to 'How may you convert binary into decimal values?' and found this question, so I want to complete Malik Brahimi's answer as much as I can.
Basically, what you can do is to create a list of ones and then iterate through them in order to create decimal list:
b_list = ['0', '1', '10', '11', '100', '101'] # Note, that values of list are strings
res = [int(n, 2) for n in b_list] # Convert from base two to base ten
print(res)
# Output:
# User@DESKTOP-CVQ282P MINGW64 ~/desktop
# $ python backpool.py
# [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
You may note, that we can use this way to convert values with different bases: binary, hex and so on.
