Test suite is failing on big endian machines #161
Description
If you found a bug in python-ldap, or would request a new feature,
this is the place to let us know.
Please describe the issue and your environment here.
The test suite is failing on big endian machines like PPC64 and S390x. It seems like some code paths are not endian-safe. See https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=24110971
