Bit Twiddling in Python

--

One thing I love about Python is that I don’t have to do too much C coding anymore. While I still use C to implement cryptography methods that need to run fast, most of the time I just implement my code in Python. If I need the program to run as fast as C, there’s always Golang. And with Python, I can do all the normal bit twiddling methods that I would normally do in C.
