Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: It's not about byte ordering. '@' and '=' also change the alignment!
The documentation says it well: - '@' (or no marker) uses the 'native' alignment, which (on every platform I know) aligns 4-bytes ints to multiple of 4 bytes. - '=' uses the 'standard' alignment which is: "no alignment is required for any type" ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8019> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
