Hi
I have found myself in the following troubling situation.
I'm running the following code on a Python 2.6.5 on Linux x86:
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import struct
>>> len(struct.pack('L',0))
4
Works as expected and documented (http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html
).
I'm running the same code on a MacPro (OS X 10.7.3) and I'm getting the
following:
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 16 2011, 16:59:05)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on
darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import struct
>>> len(struct.pack('L',0))
8
Documentation clearly states that the 'L' is a 4 byte integer.
Is this a bug? I'm I missing something?
Thanks
PMon
