Thanks but the C Struct describing the data doesn't match up with the list on the module-struct page.
this is the acct.h file #ifndef _SYS_ACCT_H #define _SYS_ACCT_H 1 #include <features.h> #define __need_time_t #include <time.h> #include <sys/types.h> __BEGIN_DECLS #define ACCT_COMM 16 /* comp_t is a 16-bit "floating" point number with a 3-bit base 8 exponent and a 13-bit fraction.

And what about the enum section? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
