[New-bugs-announce] [issue45155] Add default arguments for int.to_bytes()

[Barry A. Warsaw]

New submission from Barry A. Warsaw <barry at python.org>:

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()`

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.
