The following causes different results in python and this branch:
from _ctypes import _SimpleCData class c_short(_SimpleCData): _type_ = "h" print(c_short.__mul__(5))
Python:
<class '__main__.c_short_Array_5'>
RustPython:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tmp.py", line 6, in <module>
print(c_short.__mul__(5))
TypeError: unexpected payload for __repr__
Note that on main the repr is simply incorrect (I haven't checked explicitly, but in previous testing, that is what I saw).
I don't think the cpython implementation PyCArrayType does anything special, so I assume this is a general rustpython compatibility.
