Марк Коренберг added the comment: 1. I forgot to say: since I add new items to `if.. elif...elif.` chain after testing for 'big' and 'little', this change will not slowdown current external code. 2. Well, slowdown of to_bytes() between 'big' and 'net' on my PC give about 3 percents. 3.

[issue27638] int.to_bytes() and int.from_bytes() should support 'net' and 'host' byte orders

Марк Коренберг added the comment: 1. Yes 'host' is the same as sys.buteorder 2. Yes, 'net' is the same as 'big' 3. See `struct` module: it have '!' for those who forgot which order is `network`. In most cases (i.e. some protocols or formats) 'network' order is used. 4. Support of new values

[issue27638] int.to_bytes() and int.from_bytes() should support 'net' and 'host' byte orders

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I agreed with Martin. The "host" byte order is sys.byteorder, and the "net" byteorder is just "big". There is one obvious way to specify this, and there is not need to add yet one way. Adding support of new values for byteorder would complicate and slow

Martin Panter added the comment: I wouldn’t mind the “host” byte order, assuming it just means use sys.byteorder. I think I have done this a few times, both when I really wanted the native byte order, and when I didn’t care, but assumed the native order might be slightly more efficient (e.g.
