Python equivalent to Java's BitSet

Question

Is there a Python class or module that implements a structure that is similar to the BitSet?

Answer 1

There's nothing in the standard library. Try:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bitarray

Answer 2

Have a look at this implementation in python.

Answer 3

You might like to take a look at a module I wrote called bitstring (full documentation here), although for simple cases that need to be as fast as possible I'd still recommend bitarray.
