(original) (raw)
Hi!
I'm interested in adding the functionality to do something like:
I think both bytes and bytearray should support all the bitwise operations.
I've never hacked on cpython before. I'm starting by just trying to add xor to bytearray. I have a ByteArray\_Xor function that I think should do this here https://github.com/cowlicks/cpython/commit/d6dddb11cdb33032b39dcb9dfdaa7b10d4377b5f
I'm interested in adding the functionality to do something like:
>>> b'a' ^ b'b'
b'\\x03'
Instead of the good ol' TypeError.

But I'm not sure how to hook this in to the rest of cypython. I tried adding it where bytearray\_as\_sequence is declared in this bytearrayobject.c file. But that gave me compiler warnings and broke things.
So now that I have this ByteArray\_Xor function, how do I make it be bytearray.\_\_xor\_\_\_?
Thanks!
