how to transfer integer on socket?

[Frank Potter]

Is there any easy way to transfer 4 bit integer on socket?

I want to send like this:

a=5
send_integer(socket_s,a)

and receive like this:
a=receive_integer(socket_s)

Sending and receiving is in binary form, not transfer it to string.
Is there any easy way to do this?

Extend it to 8 bits (1 byte) and use a single character (string of length
1)

I want to send like this:

a=5
send_integer(socket_s,a)

socket_s.send(chr(a))

and receive like this:
a=receive_integer(socket_s)

a = ord(socket_s.recv(1))

I think you mean a 4-byte integer?
Look at the struct module, anyway.
