New submission from Alex Henrie <alexhenri...@gmail.com>:
When serializing a single integer, int.to_bytes and int.from_bytes are more efficient alternatives to struct.pack and struct.unpack. However, struct.pack and struct.unpack currently have the advantage that the byteorder does not have to be specified (because it defaults to sys.byteorder). It would avoid a lot of redundant code to make the byteorder argument default to sys.byteorder in int.to_bytes and int.from_bytes too. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 327030 nosy: alex.henrie priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: int.to_bytes and int.from_bytes should default to the system byte order like the struct module does versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34889> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
