+
+    The integer is represented using *length* bytes.  An :exc:`OverflowError`
+    is raised if the integer is not representable with the given number of
+    bytes.
+
+    The *byteorder* argument determines the byte order used to represent the
+    integer.  If *byteorder* is ``"big"``, the most significant byte is at the
+    beginning of the byte array.  If *byteorder* is ``"little"``, the most
+    significant byte is at the end of the byte array.  To request the native
+    byte order of the host system, use :data:`sys.byteorder` as the byte order
+    value.
+
+    The *signed* argument determines whether two's complement is used to
+    represent the integer.  If *signed* is ``False`` and a negative integer is
+    given, an :exc:`OverflowError` is raised. The default value for *signed*
+    is ``False``.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 3.2
+
+    .. classmethod:: int.from_bytes(bytes, byteorder, [\*, signed=False]])

+
+    The argument *bytes* must either support the buffer protocol or be an
+    iterable producing bytes. :class:`bytes` and :class:`bytearray` are
+    examples of built-in objects that support the buffer protocol.
+
+    The *byteorder* argument determines the byte order used to represent the
+    integer.  If *byteorder* is ``"big"``, the most significant byte is at the
+    beginning of the byte array.  If *byteorder* is ``"little"``, the most
+    significant byte is at the end of the byte array.  To request the native
