Has Python 3 to_bytes been back-ported to python 2.7?

Question

This is the function I\'m after: -

http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#int.to_bytes

I need big endianness support.

You can probably use struct.pack instead:

>>> import struct
>>> struct.pack('>i', 123)
'\x00\x00\x00{'

It doesn't do arbitrary lengths in the way int.to_bytes does, but I doubt you need that.
