Noam Raphael added the comment: Oh, this is sad. Now I know why Tcl have implemented also a decimal to binary routine.
Perhaps we can simply use both their routines? If I am not mistaken, their only real dependency is on a library which allows arbitrary long integers, called tommath, from which they use a few basic functions. We can use instead the functions from longobject.c. It will probably be somewhat slower, since longobject.c wasn't created to allow in-place operations, but I don't think it should be that bad -- we are mostly talking about compile time. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1580> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
