I proposed bytes.byte earlier in this thread: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/KBVVBJL2... Gregory dislikes the name: "I don't *like* to argue over names (the last stage of anything) but I do need to point out how that sounds to read". https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/DGJWM3VM... That's why I proposed: bytes.fromchar(). I still like bytes.byte() :-) Victor On Thu, Sep 9, 2021 at 11:07 AM Antoine Pitrou <antoine@python.org> wrote:

P.S. The fact that it *didn't* look like the inverse operation for `int.from_bytes` was one advantage of calling the method `bytes.fromord` instead of `bytes.fromint`, but I'm still happy the SC is right that `bytes.fromint` is a more comprehensible method name overall.
Perhaps we can call it `bytes.byte` to make it unambiguous?

Antoine.
