Indeed. That's arguably a bug in the struct module, and one that people have had to find workarounds for in the past. See note 3 at: http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html#byte-order-size-and-alignment If it weren't for backwards compatibility issues, I'd say that this should be fixed. -- Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
