Maybe a little
Completely helped! Working as expected now.
Thanks. You really got me out of a bind!

Dunno, I'm on thin ice here. Never used a Mac.
Maybe the underlying
you can specifify which encoding when you unpack the struct, so just try
them till it works, or read the specs on the mac.. i find it quicker to try,
there's only 4-5

Or maybe the struct module thinks big-endian is native to all Macs? It
could be a bug.

try twiddling the unpack prefix, they're probably stored in different binary
formats on the disk...
on the struct helppage, is a list of prefixes, can be like
unpack('=HI',data)
unpack('@HI',data)
etc...
find out which one works on each machine

Hi-
I am having a VERY odd problem with unpacking right now. I'm reading
data from a binary file and then using a very simple struct.unpack to
get a long. Works fine on my MacBook, but when I push it to a Linux
box,it acts differently and ends up pewking.
here's the code snippet:
