Good suggestions, Mark! We should do both, I think. I didn't know about
sys.byteorder before your message ;-) Thanks for education!
How about this:
"Native byte order is big-endian or little-endian, depending on the host
system. For example, Intel x86 and AMD64 (x86-64) are little-endian;
Motorola 68000 and PowerPC G5 are big-endian; some are even bi-endian
(switchable endianess) - ARM and DEC Alpha. Use sys.byteorder to check
the endianess of your system."
Sorry for any spelling and styling mistakes... |
