Unless you're talking about a NumPy > feature? Well, I'm assuming (perhaps falsely) that there will be some way of saying, "give me a fixed-width register integer". But I'm not going to worry about it; if that's not part of the current plan and people whine about it, they can write an extension and contribute it to the core after it proves itself. (Possibly make it part of the os package as a sub-module if/when it gets integrated.) If NumPy ever gets integrated into the core, that would be the appropriate place to put it. (I don't use NumPy; it might actually do that already.) (Note that I didn't actually re-read PEP 237 before channeling you. ;-) -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Why is this newsgroup different from all other newsgroups?
