<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578766 by <a href="/recipes/users/4187115/">teddy_k</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/bytes/">bytes</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/conversion/">conversion</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/integer/">integer</a>). </p> <p>Convenience function to determine the number of bytes needed for a specified integer (split into multiple lines for clarity's sake ... could just as easily be a one-liner).</p> <p>If this is already a defined function within Python, please let me know--a quick web search turned up nothing.</p>
