modules for handling of hexadecimal data ?

[dr_mabuse]

hi alex !

i am planning to build the database myself with python code. i am going to
parse the listings generated by the chill-compiler ( it will contain all
the needed information in the crossreference parts ), but i am not yet sure
whether i am goin to store the databse externally for every mode or just
internally in the python code. my first idea was to generate xml from the
input and save it into a database file, so that i may use the database
again for the same mode and can learn something new about the interworking
of xml and python. the parsed data will obviously need to be stored in a
"treelike" structure somehow.
thanks for your help
bye olaf !
