New submission from anatoly techtonik:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html#ctypes.Structure._anonymous_
"An optional sequence that lists the names of unnamed (anonymous) fields".
If you feed it a string, such as _offset, it will print a very interesting
error:
...
File "C:\roundup\.\roundup\backends\portalocker.py", line 70, in <module>
class A_OFFSET_UNION(Union):
AttributeError: type object '_OFFSET_UNION' has no attribute '_'
Considering complexity that ctypes already has, the simple check that
_anonymous_ is a sequence (and not a string) will make our lifes easier.
