[issue24551] byte conversion

I don't know, what *is* the problem? What behaviour did you expect? The code sample you show seems to be working exactly as it is supposed to.

b'\x00\x00 0' is the same as b'\x00\x00\x20\x30', and that is the same as b'\x20\x30' with NUL padding on the left. Written as integers, that is like 0x00002030 == 0x2030 == 8240.

I don't think this demonstrates a bug or problem. If you still believe it does, please re-open the issue with a detailed description of what behaviour you expected and why you think this is a bug.
