[New-bugs-announce] [issue3489] add rotate{left, right} methods to bytearray

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

While tweaking the BufferedWriter implementation it came to me that it
would be useful to have rotate_left and rotate_right methods on
bytearray,  so as to rotate the array by a number of bytes without any
wasteful memory allocations and copies.

(or, if memoryview is one day implemented it could be a memoryview
method instead...)
