Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
numbers.Integral is already way too fat of an API. Am -1 on expanding
it further. Recommend sticking with the simplest, least invasive,
least pervasive version of your request, a numbits() method for ints.
FWIW, in Py2.6 you can already write:
def numbits(x):
return len(bin(abs(x))) - 2
