While I think int.to_bytes() is pretty obscure (I knew about it, forgot about it, and learned about it again!) I’m not so sure it’s any less obscure than a proposed bytes.fromint().
So why don’t we just relax int.to_bytes()’s signature to include natural default values:
int.to_bytes(length=1, byteorder=sys.byteorder, *, signed=False)
Then I ought to be able to just do
>>> (65).to_bytes() b’A’
That seems so much worse than >>> bchr(65) b'A' ;-) -- ~Ethan~
