Original ticket http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1789 on 2011-04-02 by trac user wickedgrey, assigned to unknown.

I am working on adding half-floats to the struct module for CPython 3.3.

http://bugs.python.org/issue11734

I would like to get support for this into 1.6.0b2 if possible. I realize that that's putting the cart before the horse a little bit, since the change hasn't been formally accepted into CPython yet.

Pull request here:

#68

Committed in f9c7bde (master)/c2d904ac59d1756c8fa3 (1.6.x).

I think we should leave this ticket open until the struct module half-float letter has consensus from CPython, and any necessary name change is committed as well.

Thanks for the good work.

Changing Milestone to Unscheduled since we're now waiting on CPython.

Here it is, almost three years later, and the patch still hasn't made its way into Python ;)

For what its worth, half floats are exported to memoryview, so I think this can be closed.
