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 byteorde

Does this redundancy exist for C++ programmers who are programming Qt directly,

How can you separate out that calculation into its own (one-line) function?
