I haven't been completely keeping up with the entire thread, so apologies if this has already been covered. I assume that the idea is that bytes.fromint should return a single byte, equivalent to chr() returning a single character. To me, it sounds like should be the opposite of int.from_bytes. >>> int.from_bytes(b'Hello world', 'little') 121404708502361365413651784 >>> bytes.from_int(121404708502361365413651784, 'little') # should return b'Hello world' If that's not the API being suggested, that's going to be confusing. How about bytes.bchr()? bytes.bchr(n) --> a single byte bytes.from_int(n, byteorder) --> one or more bytes Personally, I think I would use the one or more bytes version more then the single bchr version, so if we only had one, I vote for that. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/4BZ6MTOZM23UXMIUCMHVH3QXCN2ICOJ2/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
