In the PEP 467 discussion, I proposed being able to use >>> (65).to_bytes() b'A' IOW, adding default arguments for the `length` and `byteorder` arguments to `int.to_bytes()` https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/PUR7UCOITMMH6TZVVJA5LKRCBYS4RBMR/ It occurs to me that this is (1) useful on its own merits; (2) easy to do. So I've done it. Creating this bug so I can link a PR against it.
