Gregory P. Smith added the comment: Pick two suitable letters for the int128 and uint128 cases and create a patch for an implementation with tests (targeting Python 3.5). The implementation needs to compile and work even when the platform C compiler Python is compiled with does not have a 128-bit integer type (so the struct module always supports this rather than depending upon the platform native support in C).
I wouldn't bother with 256 and 512 bit integer support because I've never seen those used. If that changes before 3.5 is released (a couple years), they can be added. ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19904> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
