Bitwise operators in Python

>>> x = 10
>>> y = 6
>>> print "x={x} ({x:08b}), y={y} ({y:08b})".format(x=x, y=y)
x=10 (00001010), y=6 (00000110)

>>> print "x XOR y = {r:d} ({r:08b})".format(r=x ^ y)
x XOR y = 12 (00001100)

>>> print "x OR y = {r:d} ({r:08b})".format(r=x | y)
x OR y = 14 (00001110)

>>> print "x AND y = {r:d} ({r:08b})".format(r=x & y)
x AND y = 2 (00000010)
