Thus spoke fdu.xiaojf at gmail.com (on 2006-09-28 09:10):

I didn't fell over this problem so far but
I *would* have expected to find something
like a 'pack' operator (as in Perl).

And voilá, there is (even basically identical to Perl):

  from struct import *

  a = 199
  a_bin_str = pack('L', a)
