For the BCD stuff Aahz was talking about, I'd suggest to have a look at either arrays or cStringIO buffers.

cStringIO wouldn't work because I want to store ints. Arrays might work, but I think I'll stick with tuples because they're a bit more familiar to most Pythonistas. I'm not too concerned with raw speed and efficiency before I convert the code to C; remember Knuth.

We must not let the evil of a few trample the freedoms of the many.
