Python 2 doesn't have to_bytes()! :(

# Python 2, LSB 1st
def to_lil_bytes(x):
    r = []
    while x != 0:
        r.append(int(x & 0b11111111))
        x>>= 8
    return r

# Python 2, LSB 1st
def from_lil_bytes(l):
    x = 0
    for i in range(len(l)-1, -1, -1):
        x <<= 8
        x |= l[i]
    return x

# Python 2, MSB 1st
def to_big_bytes(x):
    r = []
    while x != 0:
        r.insert(0, int(x & 0b11111111))
        x>>= 8
    return r

# Python 2, MSB 1st
def from_big_bytes(l):
    x = 0
    for i in range(len(l)):
        x <<= 8
        x |= l[i]
    return x

Can it be faster?
