portion of the bytes to string

[ricardons]

Hi, I'm not a programing guy and i have some difficulty doing something that i imagine is very simple for most of you

I have some bytes (encode as latin-1) like

b'f\x01\xff\xff\xff'
b'p308.95\xff\xff\xff'

In the first one I only want the x01 and get the numeric representation as integer
in the second I want to get the number in bolt as float

Also, Is any way to transform b'f\x01\xff\xff\xff' in the array [0x66, 0x01, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0XFF]

Any ideas

I don't know why don't i get something like
0x66 0x01 0xFF 0xFF 0XFF.
is x01 the same as 0x01?

you can do some manipulations

>>> bx = b'f\x01\xff\xff\xff'
>>> bx.decode('latin-1')
'f\x01ÿÿÿ'
>>> list(bx)
[102, 1, 255, 255, 255]
>>> [hex(c) for c in bx]
['0x66', '0x1', '0xff', '0xff', '0xff']
>>> from binascii import hexlify
>>> hexlify(bx)
b'6601ffffff'
