I don't see why you'd want that. Of course, C code has this and has always had this, e.g. the "i" format code in PyArg_ParseTuple(). > 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.

I don't know that it has corresponding scalar types -- I thing these all get mapped to the standard Python types. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
