Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org> added the comment:
Why are calling a population count method "bit_count()"? That seems likely to cause confusion with "bit_length()". I might reasonable expect that 0b1000.bit_count() be 4, not 1. It does have 4 bits. Whereas 0b1000.population_count() is clearly 1. I have no objection to adding this method, just the choice of name. ---------- nosy: +Mark.Shannon _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29882> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
