Little style:

"Native byte order is big-endian or little-endian, depending on the host 
system. For example, Intel x86 and AMD64 (x86-64) are little-endian;
Motorola 68000 and PowerPC G5 are big-endian; ARM and DEC Alpha feature
switchable endianness (bi-endian). Use sys.byteorder to check the
endianess of your system."
