python-radix-ng 0.3

A tool for converting numbers from one base to another, TheTechRobo edition

python-radix library

The library contains tools for representing natural numbers in a given base, or to current any numeral representing a natural number between two bases. Currently any base between 2 and 36 is supported.

Python-radix usage examples

Python-radix has both procedural and object-oriented solutions.

Procedural way example

# to convert numeral 4 from base 10 to base 2
>>> cast('4', 10, 2)
'100'

# to convert the integer 4 to base 2
>>> cast(4, None, 2)

Note that since the first argument is a number, rather than a numeral, the second parameter is irrelevant, so None is used.

Object oriented way example

>>> # create an object to find the base 2 representation of any natural number
>>> new = Converter(None, 2)
>>> new.convert(4)
'100'
>>> # create an object to find the base 2 representation of any base 10 numeral
>>> new = Converter(10, 2)

>>> new.convert('4')
'100'

Using characters as digits

# the digits 0 through 9 are succeeded by the lower case ASCII alphabet
>>> cast('a', 16, 10)
'10'
