This is out of scope of this question. The most significant first is the canonical way how to write number in positional system regardless of system endianness which is just an implementation detail. You can do f'{z:08b}'[::-1] to achieve the least significant byte first ordering, however this will IMHO in most cases cause just confusion...

f strings also appear to be faster than format(). timeit.timeit( 'f"{2:08b}"', number=10000000 ) => 1.1823169720000806 versus timeit.timeit( 'format(2,"08b")', number=10000000 ) => 1.3507722609992925
