STINNER Victor added the comment:
I don't like the idea of the array-view int.bits[a:b]: it's harder to implement
and the proposed behaviour is different than a list. Example:
>>> x=list("abcdef")
>>> x[2]
'c'
>>> x[2:4]
['c', 'd']
x[2:4] returns a subset of the list, so a new list. It doesn't return "cd". I
would expect int.bits[a:b] to return a list of integers in range 0..1.
I prefer int.bits(bit, nbits=1), because it's more obvious that it returns an
integer (and not a list) for nbits > 1.
