Aviv Palivoda added the comment: I have two use cases for this feature: 1.
struct a { int a; #ifdef VER2 unsigned int b; #endif } Now I may do: >>> ver1 = Struct("i") >>> ver2 = ver1 + Struct("I") 2. struct a { int a; union inner { int b; unsigned int c; } u; } As you can see with this feature I may do: >>> start = Struct("i") >>> union_b = Struct("i") >>> union_c = Struct("I") >>> version_a = start + union_b >>> version_b = start + union_c If you have a big struct with many options in the union this save's copying the initial format. > As for the concrete implementation, it looks to me that Struct('2L') + > Struct('25B') results to Struct('2L5B'). I will fix the case when there is no format provided. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29903> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
