> any form of integer SIMD operation (vectors)
Wouldn't these be appropriately represented by a tuple of integers (or floats)? For example, a SIMD vector of four 32-bit integers could be represented as four Python ints. Or would that be "terrible for performance"?
Note that the struct module may include support for int128_t, but it certainly won't have native support for every SIMD vector format under the sun (if they have different alignment requirements).

That sounds like a job for a bytes object (as returned by e.g. hashlib.sha1(...).digest()). |
