Write bits in file

[Ken Starks]

I admit that I was mostly just interested in getting your
question clarified, rather than having any great experise.

But a bit of Googling took me to the 'Bit vector' module,
[I googled: 'python ("bit array" OR "bit vector")']
which might be what you are after. I have no experience
with it, myself:
