Check of end of file on BitStream?

[daveisfera]

Is there a way to check for end of file on a BitStream? Right now, I'm doing bs._pos >= len(bs) but then it's accessing a private member and it feels like there should be an easier way to check for this.

Hi. There should be no need to access the private member as you can just use bs.pos instead. This will also prevent you from getting to a position past the end of the file so the test becomes bs.pos == len(bs).

I think is a reasonable way to check if you're at the end of the BitStream.

Oh, I hadn't noticed that property. I was looking through the def statements and didn't notice those property definitions at the end. I'll start using that, but might be worth adding an eof function or something like that to simplify/abstract this check.

Thanks for your help!
