For the intended purpose of giving access to raw machine arithmetics, I would think a C implementation would be required, but Theller's patch is a good start. > One difficulty with the patch is that the original ctypes code > contained a tp_as_number ... This can be solved by changing the order of bases for c_<type> classes. See attached. The next step would be to rewrite _NumberMixin in C. C code can be limited to methods operating on known c_ types, say ll_add(x, y) to add two longs and hl_cast(x) to cast short to long with python code taking care of the dispatch. (What's the latest on the multiple dispatch, BTW? ) ---------- nosy: +belopolsky _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue887237> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
