Typecasting or accessing char array to integer array in Python

I have a char array in Python, which is read from a file e.g.

char_array = [0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0c, 0x0d, 0x0e, 0x0f]
 

how do i convert/typecast/access this to an array of integers like

int_array[0] = 0x03020100
 int_array[1] = 0x07060504
 int_array[2] = 0x0b0a0908
 int_array[3] = 0x0f0e0d0c
 

similar to how one would access an array of bytes as integers in C/C++ i.e. type cast an unsigned char * to an unsigned long *.
