[Jython-bugs] [issue1702] wrong byteorder / endianness detected

[Lukas <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Lukas <mr....@gm...>:

On my little endian x86 linux machine, jython reports the wrong byteorder. This also has effects on the behavior of struct and array and introduces subtle errors when doing i/o. Especially, as the array.tofile() uses the (wrongly) detected native format.

Testcode:
>>>import os
>>>os.byteorder
'big'

--> should be 'little'

my jython version:
Jython 2.5.2rc3 (Release_2_5_2rc3:7184, Jan 10 2011, 22:54:57) 
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Sun Microsystems Inc.)] on java1.6.0_20
