https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/python/pyosmocom/+/43371/comment/cbd43c9e_754f6... : PS1, Line 121: int.from_bytes(packed, byteorder='little') I like the approach, but there is a problem here: `int.from_bytes()` with `byteorder='little'` will drop any trailing 0x00 bytes in the stream. It's probably safe for the Network Name IE, but this function may also be used for general GSM 7-bit unpacking where data can end in zeros (like SMS text). You can append a dummy byte before converting to prevent bit-shifting into empty padding:

```suggestion packed_int = int.from_bytes(packed + b'\x01', byteorder='little') ```
