Georg Brandl added the comment: While everybody is throwing ideas around: what about the opposite?
If extracting bit ranges from bitfields is common enough to warrant this addition, updating bitfields with a bit range is probably just as common. This'd need something like i.with_bits(value, pos, width=1) No preference if it should raise an exception if value is wider than "width". ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl _______________________________________ 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
