Apologies if this has been asked already and I have missed it in searching, but is there any interest in taking a patch for a BitmaskField?
Given the following (albeit stupid) example to show some usages that would be nice to have on a bitmask field. I should note in the examples below, the names I have chosen I am not sold on, but work well enough to describe what is going on in this example. class Person(models.Model): name = models.TextField() flags = models.BitmaskField() class PeopleFlags(object): NoFlag = 0 Male = 1 Female = 2 Student = 4 Unemployed = 8 Employed = 16 Example filter API: Finding all unemployed students: Person.objects.filter(flags__all=[PeopleFlags.Unemployed, PeopleFlags.Student]) Finding all females who are students or unemployed Person.objects.filter(flags__is=PeopleFlags.Female).filter(flags__any=[PeopleFlags.Student,PeopleFlags.Unemployed]) Obviously there are some special cases, like you couldn't use the same logic if someone wanted to find 'All people with NoFlags'. By default 0 would have to be special cased for '= 0' instead of '& 0'. I dont have the code currently written, but I am willing to put some work into it if this is a feature that people (other than me) think would be useful.
