This package defines classes that simplify bit-wise creation, manipulation and
interpretation of data.

Classes:

Bits -- An immutable container for binary data.
BitArray -- A mutable container for binary data.
ConstBitStream -- An immutable container with streaming methods.
BitStream -- A mutable container with streaming methods.

                      Bits (base class)
                     /    \
 + mutating methods /      \ + streaming methods

                     \    /
                    BitStream

Functions:

pack -- Create a BitStream from a format string.

Exceptions:

Error -- Module exception base class.
CreationError -- Error during creation.
InterpretError -- Inappropriate interpretation of binary data.
ByteAlignError -- Whole byte position or length needed.
ReadError -- Reading or peeking past the end of a bitstring.

class BitArray(Bits):
    """A container holding a mutable sequence of bits.

    Subclass of the immutable Bits class. Inherits all of its
    methods (except __hash__) and adds mutating methods.

    Mutating methods:

    append() -- Append a bitstring.
    byteswap() -- Change byte endianness in-place.
    insert() -- Insert a bitstring.
    invert() -- Flip bit(s) between one and zero.
    overwrite() -- Overwrite a section with a new bitstring.
    prepend() -- Prepend a bitstring.
    replace() -- Replace occurrences of one bitstring with another.
    reverse() -- Reverse bits in-place.
    rol() -- Rotate bits to the left.
    ror() -- Rotate bits to the right.
    set() -- Set bit(s) to 1 or 0.

    Methods inherited from Bits:

    all() -- Check if all specified bits are set to 1 or 0.
    any() -- Check if any of specified bits are set to 1 or 0.
    count() -- Count the number of bits set to 1 or 0.
    cut() -- Create generator of constant sized chunks.
    endswith() -- Return whether the bitstring ends with a sub-string.
    find() -- Find a sub-bitstring in the current bitstring.
    findall() -- Find all occurrences of a sub-bitstring in the current bitstring.
    join() -- Join bitstrings together using current bitstring.
    rfind() -- Seek backwards to find a sub-bitstring.
    split() -- Create generator of chunks split by a delimiter.
    startswith() -- Return whether the bitstring starts with a sub-bitstring.
    tobytes() -- Return bitstring as bytes, padding if needed.
    tofile() -- Write bitstring to file, padding if needed.
    unpack() -- Interpret bits using format string.

    Special methods:

    Mutating operators are available: [], <<=, >>=, +=, *=, &=, |= and ^=
    in addition to the inherited [], ==, !=, +, *, ~, <<, >>, &, | and ^.

    Properties:

    bin -- The bitstring as a binary string.
    bool -- For single bit bitstrings, interpret as True or False.
    bytepos -- The current byte position in the bitstring.
    bytes -- The bitstring as a bytes object.
    float -- Interpret as a floating point number.
    floatbe -- Interpret as a big-endian floating point number.
    floatle -- Interpret as a little-endian floating point number.
    floatne -- Interpret as a native-endian floating point number.
    hex -- The bitstring as a hexadecimal string.
    int -- Interpret as a two's complement signed integer.
    intbe -- Interpret as a big-endian signed integer.
    intle -- Interpret as a little-endian signed integer.
    intne -- Interpret as a native-endian signed integer.
    len -- Length of the bitstring in bits.
    oct -- The bitstring as an octal string.
    pos -- The current bit position in the bitstring.
    se -- Interpret as a signed exponential-Golomb code.
    ue -- Interpret as an unsigned exponential-Golomb code.
    sie -- Interpret as a signed interleaved exponential-Golomb code.
    uie -- Interpret as an unsigned interleaved exponential-Golomb code.
    uint -- Interpret as a two's complement unsigned integer.
    uintbe -- Interpret as a big-endian unsigned integer.
    uintle -- Interpret as a little-endian unsigned integer.
    uintne -- Interpret as a native-endian unsigned integer.
