STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
Adding a function to a new hypothetical imath module sounds reasonable. I'm less comfortable with adding a new method to int type: it would mean that any int subtype "should" implement it. For example, should numpy.int64 get this method as well? What is the effect on https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/numbers.html? Does it make sense to call (True).popcount()? ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29882> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
