This has to do with C struct packing and alignment. You are likely on a 64-bit computer and thus your structs are aligned to 8 byte (64 bit) boundaries. https://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html#structure-union-alignment-and-byte-order Create an equivalent C program and you will notice the same behavior. ---------- nosy: +ammar2 resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35562> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
