I'm not. :-) We use them in numpy. The bitwise operations on int and float arrays aren't all that useful, but they are very useful for bool arrays. We can't use the "and"/"or"/"not" keywords since they can't be overloaded, but they bitwise operators fill the need fairly well. We've had logical_and()/logical_or()/logical_not() functions since forever, too, and they're a pain in the ass. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
