endianess of resulting array of bytes

[alepinio]

With the 8.11.1 I'm getting

>>> bitstruct.pack('u8u8u8u8<', 1, 2, 3, 4)
b'\x01\x02\x03\x04'
>>> bitstruct.pack('u8u8u8u8>', 1, 2, 3, 4)
b'\x01\x02\x03\x04'

Is this OK? According to the documentation, I was expecting different byte orderings when using suffixes < and >.

THX, Alejandro

PS: great work!

The recent v8.10.2 also isn't working on big-endian architectures like s390x. So there must be some problems with the actual c-interface implementation:
