Thomas Heller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I wonder if a patch for ctypes like this (which is not yet complete) could be used to implement this, or MUST it be implemented in C?
The patch contains a mixin class that implements the numeric methods. However, the actual operation takes place in Python; only the operands are converted into ctypes types first, the operand is applied to the value, and the result is converted to a ctypes instance again. One difficulty with the patch is that the original ctypes code contained a tp_as_number member where only the nb_nonzero slot was actually implemented; this prevented the mixin class to do it's work (Python didn't call the special methods. I wonder if there is a bug somewhere...). ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12016/ctypes-numbermixins.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue887237> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
