[Python-Dev] Product function patch [issue 1093] (original) (raw)

What I have in mind would be quite small, so it wouldn't "weigh down" the stdlib.

If it's a builtin, it certainly would. Every builtin weighs down the library, as it clutters the global(est) namespace.

I'm thinking of having a bunch of functions like

addelementwise(src1, src2, dst, start, chunk, stride) where src1, src2 and dst are anything supporting the new buffer protocol. That should be sufficient to support something with a numpy-like API, I think.

This sounds like a topic for python-ideas.

Regards, Martin
