Remove *format - accept iterable instead. #73

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'm not a fan of the *format parameters used in unpack, readlist etc.

It might be better to only allow 'format', but let it be an iterable. So
instead of:

>>> a, b, c = s.unpack('hex:4', 'oct:3', 'bin:1')

make it:

>>> a, b, c = s.unpack(['hex:4', 'oct:3', 'bin:1'])

This is also in line with the change proposed to startswith and endswith.

Affects peeklist, readlist, unpack.
