Automatically generate EDT for ECHONET telegram

Purpose

• Write in Python 3
• Automatically generate EDT for ECHONET telegram
• EDT is from 0 to 99 (0x00 to 0x63)
• Telegrams are generated alternately for SET and GET

result

Consideration

• The EDT of the ECHONET message was automatically generated.
• EDT supports 0 to 99 (0x00 to 0x63)
• Telegrams are generated alternately for SET and GET
• Posted on qiita
• A little used to Markdown notation
• The code is easier to read than the chord
• I didn't know how to write a comment, so I referred to the material

Postscript

• I rewrote the original code for Python3 but it doesn't work.
• Is Python3 poor at handling binary data?
