Alexandre Vassalotti <alexan...@peadrop.com> added the comment:
Here's a new patch incorporating the suggestions I received on python-ideas.
Notable changes are:
- The name of the methods have been changed to int.tobytes() and
int.frombytes().
- The tri-state `little_endian' argument has been removed in favor
of the `byteorder' argument which takes either the string
'little' or 'big'.
- The `byteorder' argument has to be specified explicitly.
- The variable-length version of int.tobytes() has been removed.
- The `fixed_length' argument has been renamed to `length'.
- The `signed' argument is now keyword-only and now defaults to False.
