I'm sorry, I confused that he asked for machine endianess. Then of course
you are right.

How about sys.byteorder?
This doesn't help, as he wants to read files from varying endian

There is no such test, as

This doesn't help, as he wants to read files from varying endianess - what
the _current_ endianess is doesn't matter here.

Hello,
I am using a program that has to read binary data from files coming
from different machines. The file are always written with big endian.
I am using the struct module to read the data and it is fine because I
can specify in the format if the data are to be read with big or small
endian co
