I don't think it does, if you read it closely. Of course, patches to improve the docs are always welcome. :) If you're looking at the table of format codes, note that it refers to the *standard* size, which is the size used when standard size and alignment are in effect (i.e., when the struct format string starts with '<', '>', etc.). That standard size is indeed 4 bytes for the 'l' and 'L' codes. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1789> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
