I know you would. But there are many others who just try things until they work. Also, if this does become *the* way to create bytes, it won't be obscure any more -- but you'd still need to remember to always specify byteorder for length > 1. That is, unless you *want* platform-specific behavior, which I don't think is all that often. Even in this case, you want to think about the issue, and omitting the argument is a bad way to encode that you thought about it. --- Hm, what happened to the idea of only requiring byteorder for `length > 1`? I recall it being discussed ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45155> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
