It's not really clear what that line in the docs means for Python 2, either: if values x and y both fit in an int, then so do ~x, x|y and x&y. We already assume in the Python source that the underlying representation is two's complement (no padding bits, no trap representation, etc.), so there aren't any complications from platforms where the C representation is ones' complement or sign-magnitude. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29710> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
