Alexey Shamrin <sham...@gmail.com> added the comment: Good suggestions, Mark! We should do both, I think. I didn't know about sys.byteorder before your message ;-) Thanks for education!
How about this: "Native byte order is big-endian or little-endian, depending on the host system. For example, Intel x86 and AMD64 (x86-64) are little-endian; Motorola 68000 and PowerPC G5 are big-endian; some are even bi-endian (switchable endianess) - ARM and DEC Alpha. Use sys.byteorder to check the endianess of your system." Sorry for any spelling and styling mistakes... ---------- nosy: +ash _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6414> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
