Utils for the Python bitarray module
Project description
python-bautils
bautils is a Python module implementing some useful helper functions for working with the Python bitarray module. Specifically, bautils supports adding (and, coming soon) other basic arithmetic operations on bitarrays as if they were arbitrary length binary numbers, something the bitarray package itself doesn’t seem to support.
I opted to put these functions in a new module; none are terribly complicated to implement, so they’re essentially just a set of convenient wrappers.
Currently bautils just contains the following routines. More work is planned for the future:
add(b1, b2): add two bitarrays together, returns the result.
left(ba, n): shifts a bitarray left by n, preserving the original size.
right(ba, n): shifts a bitarray right by n, preserving the original size.
random(length): returns a random bitarray of size length.
maxb(b1, b2): returns the larger bitarray.
minb(b1, b2): returns the smaller bitarray.
Unit tests are also a work in progress.
