The only rationale I can think of for such a thing is that maybe they're trying to accommodate the possibility of a machine built entirely around a hardware implementation of the spec, that doesn't have any other way of doing bitwise logical operations. If that's the case, then Python clearly has no need for it. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
