Another related question. How do I know I want to do dir(int) vs.. I don't know dir(long)? And, when I do dir(int) I get the following results. I must not be seeing the from_bytes in this list... >>> dir(int) ['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__class__', '__cmp__', '__coerce__', '__delattr__', '__div__', '__divmod__', '__doc__', '__float__', '__floordiv__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__getnewargs__', '__hash__', '__hex__', '__index__', '__init__', '__int__', '__invert__', '__long__', '__lshift__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__neg__', '__new__', '__nonzero__', '__oct__', '__or__', '__pos__', '__pow__', '__radd__', '__rand__', '__rdiv__', '__rdivmod__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rfloordiv__', '__rlshift__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__ror__', '__rpow__', '__rrshift__', '__rshift__', '__rsub__', '__rtruediv__', '__rxor__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__sub__', '__subclasshook__', '__truediv__', '__trunc__', '__xor__', 'bit_length', 'conjugate', 'denominator', 'imag', 'numerator', 'real'] On 10/9/18, Alan Gauld via Tutor <tutor@python.org> wrote: > On 09/10/18 02:48, Chip Wachob wrote: > >>> bytearray(b'\x00\xff\x7f\x00') >>> py> n = int.from_bytes(b, 'big') >> >> I'm not familiar with this int.from_bytes. >> >> Being new to Python, I don't have a mental library of these nifty >> functions.
