Sure, that's is one way to do it... but I was answering Micheal Torrie, who
said:

htonl() and ntohl() are available in Python in the socket module, so:
1) i was just pointing the OP to the right place where to find such
functions
2) they work just the same way, hence I can't see why the "struct" way
should be the preferred one while the "socket" way should be misinformation
