[Tutor] [spoiler] Re: Shifting arrays as though they are a 'word'

[Chip Wachob]

Alan,

Thank you.

Another related question.  How do I know I want to do dir(int) vs.. I
don't know dir(long)?

And, when I do dir(int) I get the following results.  I must not be
seeing the from_bytes in this list...

>>> dir(int)
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__class__', '__cmp__',
'__coerce__', '__delattr__', '__div__', '__divmod__', '__doc__',
'__float__', '__floordiv__', '__format__', '__getattribute__',
'__getnewargs__', '__hash__', '__hex__', '__index__', '__init__',
'__int__', '__invert__', '__long__', '__lshift__', '__mod__',
'__mul__', '__neg__', '__new__', '__nonzero__', '__oct__', '__or__',
'__pos__', '__pow__', '__radd__', '__rand__', '__rdiv__',
'__rdivmod__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__',
'__rfloordiv__', '__rlshift__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__ror__',
'__rpow__', '__rrshift__', '__rshift__', '__rsub__', '__rtruediv__',
'__rxor__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__sub__',
'__subclasshook__', '__truediv__', '__trunc__', '__xor__',
'bit_length', 'conjugate', 'denominator', 'imag', 'numerator', 'real']
