Maybe, but given that you can *already* do the equivalent of bchr() with: >>> (65).to_bytes(1, sys.byteorder) b'A' it seems like a small stretch to make that more usable, and that would outweigh adding a difficult to understand new builtin. TOOWTDI. In case you really want bchr(): def bchr(x): return x.to_bytes(1, sys.byteorder) >>> bchr(65) b’A' Cheers, -Barry
