bautils 0.1.4

Utils for the Python bitarray module

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.

It also contains helper methods to convert between the binary arrays in the pure Python bitstring module

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.

Unit tests are also a work in progress.

Changelog:
