How to byte-swap a 32-bit integer in python?

One method is to use the struct module:

def swap32(i):
    return struct.unpack("<I", struct.pack(">I", i))[0]

First you pack your integer into a binary format using one endianness, then you unpack it using the other (it doesn’t even matter which combination you use, since all you want to do is swap endianness).
