Thanks Terry, that's what I was looking for. I had tried using the bytes() constructor directly, and was getting a byte array of zeros, of the length specified by the integer. That's in the documentation, and it might be useful, but I haven't seen an obvious use case, and it isn't what I wanted. Wrapping the integer in a tuple solves the problem of it being interpreted as a length. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
