I'm thinking that the "i" format could be used for signed integers and the "u" for unsigned integers. The width would be the number of bytes. You would also need to have a way of specifying the endianness.
For example:
b'{:<2i}'.format(256) b'\x01\x00' b'{:>2i}'.format(256) b'\x00\x01'
The goal is not to add an alternative to the struct module. If you need binary packing/unpacking, just use struct. Regards Antoine.
