I would think that

def long_as_bytes(lvalue, width):
    fmt = '%%.%dx' % (2*width)
    return unhexlify(fmt % (lvalue & ((1L<<8*width)-1)))

is short enough for a recipe to not really make a C function
necessary for that feature.

However, if they are going to be provided somewhere, I would
suggest that static methods on the long type might be the
right place.
