Apparently, the point of this request is that the method for
converting long ints to binary should be "easily found in
documentation". And also apparently, the submitter thinks
that the struct module would be the place where people look.
Now, that allows for a simple solution: document the
approach of going through hex inside the documentation of
the struct module.
There is one other reason (beyond being primarily for C
APIs) why such a feature should *not* be in the struct
module: The struct module, most naturally, is about
structures. However, I understand that the intended usage of
this feature would not be structures, but single long
values. Therefore, I consider it counter-intuitive to extend
struct for that. |
