[Python-Dev] bitwise operations for bytes and bytearray

2016-01-07 Thread Blake Griffith
Hi! I'm interested in adding the functionality to do something like: >>> b'a' ^ b'b' b'\x03' Instead of the good ol' TypeError. 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
