I'm using Python 3.6.  I have a need to convert several small integers into 
single bytes.  As far as I can tell from reading through the Python docs, the 
correct way to accomplish this task is:

b = i.to_bytes(1, "big")

This seems to work, but I find it cumbersome.  I have to supply the byteorder 
argument to prevent a TypeError.  However, byte order doesn't matter if I'm 
only generating a single byte.  Whether I choose "big" or "little" I should get 
the same result.  Is there another function which provides a more logical 
interface to this straightforward task?

Thanks for any suggestions.
