int('\x23') != 0x23 (a.k.a convert char to integer of its byte representation)

Hi, I am looking for the best way to convert a string of length 1 (= 1 character as string) to integer that has the same value as numeric representation of that character. Background: I am writing functions abstracting endianness, e.g. converting a string of length 4 to the appropriate integer
