An arry has one typecode that applies to all its elements - so what you 
want can't be done.

But you can use two lists and the module struct to create a string that 
resembles the memory layout you want.


data1 = [0] * 6
data2 = [0L] * 25

struct.pack("b" * len(data1) + "l" * len(25), *(data1 + data2))

But I think you should give us more information on what you actually 
want to accomplish, as I've got the impression that you try to force 
things in awy that is not optimal.
