[Tutor] Will someone please tell me how to read this?

[Lane, Frank L]

Hi List,

 

I cut and pasted a dump from recvfrom below.  I can't read it and don't
where to look in the documentation to figure out how to read this.

 

Is there a name for this type of number?  I'm assuming the \x means it's
hex, but then you have things like \x00h, and \x007p^.

 

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

 

Code snippet:

 

text = server.recvfrom(1024)

print repr(text)

 

'\x05\x01\x03\x02\x05\xaf\xce\x04\x00h\x00\x00\x00\x01\x007\x00\x01\x00\
x01\x007p^\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x007\x00\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\
x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00AN\x94\n\x923\xcaXA$s\xdc(\x1e\xcf\xbaAR\
xb6\xc9\x1c\x1e%#\x02\x02\x00\xe1\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\xe8\x00\x0
1\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x0
0'

 

Thanks,

Frank
