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. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19915> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
