Re: [Python-ideas] A way to subscript a single integer from bytes
Whoops! Never seen that before. Nothing I searched up pointed me to it. Sorry for wasting your time! Ken; -- Sincerely, Ken;
I think this method is easy to miss, since people look at the docs for
bytes (e.g. using dir(bytes)). It might be worthwhile to either add a
`bytes.to_int(...)` method (better, IMHO), or to point to int.from_bytes on
the relevant part of the docs.

A note in the docs about int.from_bytes seems more than warranted to me to. Jacco
