This looks good. If it's okay with you, I'll work on the documentation a little (we need an entry in whatsnew, and a description of the semantics of numbits for 0 and negative integers.) Then I think this will be ready. > I prefer to keep the "fast path" (use _PyLong_NumBits) as *you* > proposed in another message: Message75767. Sorry---I wasn't clear. I wasn't suggesting getting rid of the fast path---I was suggesting inlining the _PyLong_NumBits code in long_numbits (leaving _PyLong_NumBits itself intact, of course). It would eliminate all the messing around with exceptions. But I think the current code is fine. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3439> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
